Question

Find the two consecutive positive numbers if their product is 132 use the quadratic equation

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two positive consecutive numbers

11 , 12

say two consecutive numbers x, x+1

Their product =132

i.e x(x+1)=132

x^2+x-132=0

Roots x = -12 , 11

But x is only positive.

So x=11

Finally x,x+1 = 11 , 12
