Question

The product of two consecutive positive integers is 1,332. Explain how you can write and solve a quadratic equation to find the value of the larger integer.

Answer 1

Product of two consecutive integer so this mean that x and y but y = x+1 than

x(x+1)=1332

x^2 +x -1332 =0  so bc. you get 36*37=1332 and 37x-36x=x so you can rewriting this quadratic factorized completlie 

x^2 +x -1332 = 0

(x+37)(x-36)=0

x+37=0

x=-37 so the larger integer result that will be 37 

Answer 2

Answer:use x and x +1 to model the two consecutive integers. X=36 and -36
