Question

Find two consecutive positive integers, sum of whose squares is 365.​

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathcal{\purple{A}\green{N}\pink{S}\blue{W}\purple{E}\green{R}\pink{!}}}$

Let us say, the two consecutive positive integers be x and x + 1.

Therefore, as per the given questions,

x^2  + (x + 1)^2 = 365

⇒ x^2 + x^2 + 1 + 2x = 365

⇒ 2x^2 + 2x – 364 = 0

⇒ x^2 + x – 182 = 0

⇒ x^2 + 14x – 13x – 182 = 0

⇒ x(x + 14) -13(x + 14) = 0

⇒ (x + 14)(x – 13) = 0

Thus, either, x + 14 = 0 or x – 13 = 0,

⇒ x = – 14 or x = 13

since, the integers are positive, so x can be 13, only.

So, x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

Therefore, the two consecutive positive integers will be 13 and 14.

Answer 2

Answer:

ײ+(×+1)²=365

ײ+ײ+1+2×=365

2ײ+2×-364=0

÷by2

ײ+×-182=0

:13 and 14 are consecutive integers
