Find two consecutive even integers whose product is 48.
-----------------
The quick and easy way:
sqrt(48) is ~7 (7*7=49).
It's the numbers above and below 7,
6 and 8 (and -8 and -6)
----------
The hard way:
n*(n+2) = 48
n^2 + 2n - 48 = 0
(n+8)*(n-6) = 0
--> 6 & 8 and -8 & -6
------------
and
Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 63.
Do this one the same way.
