Um i was thinking 5% or something like that
Standard: x=4
implicit: x-4=0
(a) * (a+1) = 420
a^2 + a = 420
a^2 + a - 420 = 0
(a+21)(a-20) = 0
a = -21 OR 20
The two integers can be -21 and -20, OR 20 and 21.
Perfect squares are n² where n is a whole number
whole numbers are like 0,1,2,3,4,5,6, etc
no decimal or fractions
we can do that be looking at the perfect squares we know
2²=4
3²=9
4²=16
5²=25
6²=36
7²=49
8²=64
etc
so we see 47 is between 6² and 7²
therefor, for n²=47, n is between 6 and 7 and is therfore not a whole number
that makes 47 not a perfect square
