We have to present the number 41 as the sum of two squares of consecutive positive integers.
1² = 1
2² = 4
3² = 9
4² = 16
5² = 25
16 + 25 = 41
<h3>Answer: 4 and 5</h3>
Other method:
n, n + 1 - two consecutive positive integers
The equation:
n² + (n + 1)² = 41 <em>use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²</em>
n² + n² + 2(n)(1) + 1² = 41
2n² + 2n + 1 = 41 <em>subtract 41 from both sides</em>
2n² + 2n - 40 = 0 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
n² + n - 20 = 0
n² + 5n - 4n - 20= 0
n(n + 5) - 4(n + 5) = 0
(n + 5)(n - 4) = 0 ↔ n + 5 = 0 ∨ n - 4 =0
n = -5 < 0 ∨ n = 4 >0
n = 4
n + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
<h3>Answer: 4 and 5.</h3>
We can write the system in the following form:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}5&-4&4&2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{array}\right] =b](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D5%26-4%264%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7Dx_1%5C%5Cx_2%5C%5Cx_3%5C%5Cx_4%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%3Db)
The above system is equivalent to the following equation:

Of course, the above system has solution for any values of b since there is one equation and four variable, there is infinite number of solution each time.

I would say that the best answer is actually that people who are not opposed to the new rule are less motivated to call than the people who are opposing it, who feel that they need to do something about it.
