Problema Solution
product of two consective integers is 12 find integer.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x and x+1 be the two consecutive integers, where x is integer
the product of x and x+1 is 12
x(x + 1) = 12
x^2 + x - 12 = 0
solving the quadratic equation we find
x1 = 3
x2 = -4
thus we have 2 solutions:
first solution: 3 and 4
second solution: -4 and -3
