a positive real number is 2 more than another. if the sum of the squares of the two numbers is 14, find the numbers

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number. Then the sum of squares is ...

  x² +(x+2)² = 14

  2x² +4x +4 = 14 . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x² +4x -10 = 0 . . . put in standard form

  x² +2x -5 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2 (because we can)

  (x +1)² -6 = 0 . . . . . complete the square

  x +1 = √6  . . .   we want the positive root

  x = -1 +√6

  x+2 = 1 +√6

The numbers are √6±1.
