Question

the product of 2 consecutive even integers is 2055
the product of 2 consecutive odd integers is 3076

Answer 1

please show the work =]

Answer 2

let x be an even integer, then the consecutive even integer is: x+2
x*(x+2) = 2055
x^2 + x = 2055

Answer 3

Same thing for the other one, let y be an odd integer, then the consecutive odd integer is: y+2
y*(y+2) = 3076
y^2 + 2y = 3076

Answer 4

btw the top one is:
x^2 + 2x = 2055

Answer 5

By the way, part one is impossible. Even * even is ALWAYS even

Answer 6

so is the second part, because odd * odd is ALWAYS odd

Answer 7

yes i just came up with a number b/c i dont understand consecutive even/odds and just wanted an example to be done for me Thanks!

Answer 8

are u sure consecutive odd isn't x(x+1)?

Answer 9

1 - odd
1+1 = 2 - even

Answer 10

so both even and odd are set to x(x+2) ?

Answer 11

yea
2 + 2 = 4
1 + 2 = 3
it all depends on the first number

Answer 12

Oh I see, Thanks!! btw we are learning on how to solve quadratic equations!

Answer 13

btw do u own a graphing calculator?

Answer 14

yea TI-89 titanium

Answer 15

Omg can u do me the biggest favor?

Answer 16

do u know how to find 0 routes of a quadratic equation?

Answer 17

what's that?

Answer 18

using the graphing calculator?

Answer 19

zeros? i dunno what routes are

Answer 20

yeah finding the zeros with the "trace" and "zero" option

Answer 21

yea sure just post the question

Answer 22

Thanks so much! okay one sec

Answer 23

y=x^2-6x+4 and y=3x^2+2x-2
