Question:
If an integer is added to its square, the sum is 90. Find the integer with the help of quadratic equation.
Solution:
Let an integer beĀ x.
Then according to question
$x+x^{2}=90$
$x^{2}+x-90=0$
$x^{2}+10 x-9 x-90=0$
$x(x+10)-9(x+10)=0$
$(x+10)(x-9)=0$
$(x+10)=0$
$x=-10$
Or
$(x-9)=0$
$x=9$
Thus, an integer be $-10,9$
