Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is:
The smaller integer is -6
The larger integer is -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Two consecutive integers:
x, x+1
Product= multiply
(x) × (x+1) = x^2 - 6
x^2 + x= x^2 -6
-x^2
x= -6
Plug back in
First integer (smaller):
-6
Second integer (larger):
-6+1
-5
Check your work!
(-6) × (-6+1)
(-6)× (-5)
30 = (-6)^2 -6
30 = 36-6
30= 30 ✓✓✓✓
That's how we determine that this is the correct answer
Hopefully this helps
The two consecutive integers whose product is 6 less than the square of the smaller number integers are [tex]-6[/tex] and [tex]-5[/tex].
Let the two consecutive integers be [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]x+1\\[/tex] respectively.
Given, the product of both the integers is 6 less than the square of the smaller number.
So we can write it in equation form as, [tex]x\times (x+1)+6= x^{2}[/tex]
On solving ,[tex]x^{2} +x+6=x^{2}[/tex]
Further,[tex]x+6=x^{2} -x^{2}[/tex]
Or,[tex]x+6=0\\x=-6[/tex]
Now the other integer be [tex]-6+1[/tex] or [tex]-5[/tex].
Hence the two consecutive integers are [tex]-6[/tex] and [tex]-5[/tex].
