The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need to find the integers


(ii) The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need to find the integers.
Answer:
Let the first integer number = x
next consecutive positive integer will =  x +1
Product of both integers = x * (x +1) = 306
or, x2+ x = 306
or, x2+ x - 206 = 0
it is our required quadratic equation
