Let the two consecutive positive integer be x and ( x + 1 )
Product of the two consecutive Positive integer = 360
So :
x ( x + 1 ) = 306
x ² + x = 306
x ² + x - 306 = 0
Thus the required quadratic equation is :
Now ;
x² + x - 306 = 0
x2 + 18x – 17x – 306 = 0
x(x + 18) – 17(x + 18) = 0
(x + 18) (x – 17) = 0
If x + 18 = 0, If x – 17 = 0
then x = -18 and x = 17
