Question : 34 of 40

Marks: +1, -0

Find the largest integer in the group of three consecutive integers if the sum of their squares is 50.

Solution:

Let the three integers be (x - 1), (x), (x + 1).

(x - 1)^2+ (x)^2+ (x + 1)^2=50

x^2-2x+1+x^2+x^2+1+2x=50

3x^2=48

x^2=16

x=4

So, the largest integer = x + 1 = 5.
