Find Integral values of x for which x2 + 19x + 46 is a perfect square?
x2+19x+46 =x2+18x+81+x-35 =(x+9)2+(x-35) for the above equation to become perfect square x-35 must be equal to zero therefore x=35 similarly, x2+19x+46=x2+20x+100-(x+54) =(x+10)2-(x+54) here x+54=0 => x=-54 x2+19x+46=x2+22x+121-3(x+25) =(x+11)2-3(x+25) here x+25=0 => x=-25 x2+19x+46=x2+16x+64+3x-18 =(x+8)2+3(x-6) here x-6=0 => x=6
