Answer:
11, 13, 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first odd number be x
The other two conservative odd numbers will be (x + 2) and (x + 4)
Sum of the square of first two numbers is greater than the third by 65
⇒ x² + (x + 2)² = (x + 4)² + 65
Solve x:
x² + (x + 2)² = (x + 4)² + 65
x² + x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 8x + 16 + 65
2x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 8x + 81
x² - 4x - 77 = 0
(x + 7) (x - 11) = 0
x = 11 or x = -7 (rejected, assumed only positive number)
Find the numbers:
first number = x = 11
second number = x + 2 = 11 + 2 = 13
third number = x + 4 = 11 + 4 = 15
Answer: The numbers are 11, 13 and 15
