Q2 of 58 Page 106

Represent the following situations in the form of quadratic equation:

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

Let us suppose the two consecutive numbers to be x and x + 1

According to the given condition x(x + 1) = 306


x2 + x - 306 = 0, which is the required quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0
