Question

the sum of the square of two consecutive integers is 41. Find the integers.

Answer 1

Consecutive integers means numbers that are next to each other

The consecutive integers of 14 and 15 make 29

Does this make sense? It is the basis of the problem.

Answer 2

I think it does.

Answer 3

x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 41

Answer 4

Because of this, you can estimate what the answer to your question is

Because it is 2 numbers, you can divide 41 by 2

41/2 = 20.5

No you have to pick 2 consecutive numbers that have an average of 20.5

Answer 5

What integers are inbetween 20.5?

20 and 21

Does that make sense?

20+21 = 41

Answer 6

it says the sum of SQUARE of two consecutive numbers

Answer 7

Oh okay my bad. You just have to do it in reverse then.

20^2 = 400
21^2 = 441

441 - 400 = 41

Answer 8

okay thank you KirbyLegs! That makes more sense

Answer 9

Welcome :)

Answer 10

no @KirbyLegs is wrong
solve this
x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 41

Answer 11

then u'll get the ans

Answer 12

it's not the difference. It's the sum

Answer 13

yep
