how can we find the number of positive integers n for which n^2+96 is a perfect square?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Suppose that n2 + 96 = m2 for some positive integer m, then

m2 - n2 = 96
(m - n)(m + n) = 96 = 25 × 3

96 has 12 divisors which come in pairs and since m - n < m + n they are

m - nm + n
1 96
2 48
3 32
4 24
6 16
8 12

For each of the 6 cases solve for m and n and verify which pairs, if any, satisfy your requirements.

For a real number r, the quadratics x² + (r - 1) x + 6 and x² + (2r + 1) x + 22 have a common real root. The sum of the possible values of r can be expressed as a/ b where a, b are relatively prime positive integers. Compute 10a + b
