Find two consecutive positive integers such that the sum of their squares is 421 .

Mathematics

We assume the two numbers are x and (x+1)
so x^2+(x+1)^2=421
x^2+(x^2+2x+1)=421
2x^2+2x-420=0
According to the formula of quadratic 
x=14 or-15
cuz we know the two numbers are integers
so x=14
therefore the other number is 15
To make sure that's correct
14^2+15^2=421

Hope that helps you!!

Which quadratic equation is equivalent to (x + 2)2 + 5(x + 2) – 6 = 0?
Darya [45]
Quadratic is in the form
ax^2+bx+c=0

so distribute and stuff and simplify
remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac

(x+2)^2+5(x+2)-6=0
remember order of opertaions
(x+2)(x+2)+5(x+2)-6=0
x^2+4x+4+5x+10-6=0
add like terms
x^2+9x+8=0
