Question

If the sum of two consecutive integers is less than 42, find the square of the largest possible integer.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sum of two consecutive integers is less than 42 , find the square of the largest possible integer. n + (n+1) < 42 ====> 2n + 1 < 42 ====> n < 20.5 ====> The largest possible integer in this pair (n,n+1) is 21 and its square is 441.
