Question -

If an integer is added to its square, the sum is 90. Find the integer with the help of quadratic equation.



Answer -

Let the given integer be = x
According to the condition
x² + x = 90
=> x² + x – 90 = 0
=> x² + 10x – 9x – 90 = 0
=> x (x + 10) – 9 (x + 10) = 0
=> (x + 10) (x – 9) = 0
Either x + 10 = 0, then x = -10 or x – 9 = 0, then x = 9.
The integer will be -10 or 9
