Hi,
three consecutive integers , &
such that four times the square of the third, less than three times the square of the first,
minus 41, is twice the square of the second
Question states***
4(x+2)^2 - 3x^2 - 41 = 2(x+1)^2
4(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 3x^2 - 41 = 2(x^2 + 2x+ 1)
4x^2 + 16x + 16 - 3x^2 - 41 = 2x^2 + 4x + 2
0 = x^2 - 12x + 27
0 = (x-9)(x-3)
x = 9 0r x = 3
Integers are 9, 10, 11
0r 3,4,5
