If the samller number is x, then
x2 + (x + 1)2 = 41
ie x2 + x2 + 2x + 1 = 40
ie 2x2 + 2x - 40 = 0
or x2 + x - 20 = 0
so that x2 + 5x - 4x - 20 = 0
then x(x + 5) -4(x + 5) = 0
or (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0
which implies that x = -5 or x = 4
Since x is positive, x = 4.
This is impossible to achieve with integers. If the numbers are consecutive even numbers, then this is the solution: 42 + 62 = 16 + 36 = 52
If you are asking how many numbers difference is there between two numbers, then it will be positive. If you are referring to subtraction, if the number you are subtracting from is the larger number, it will be positive. If it is smaller it will be negative. 3 - 2 = 1 (3, the number being subtracted from, is larger, so the answer is positive) 2 - 3 = -1 (2, the number being subtracted from, is smaller, so the answer is negative)
The sum of the squares of two consecutive positive numbers is 41.What is the smaller number?Improved Answer:-It is 4 because 42+52 = 41
30 + 31 = 61 The smaller number is therefore 30.
What do you mean by "higher?"They are smaller than positive numbers since they are to the left of positive numbers on the number line.Beyond that, not sure what you mean.

no negative numbers are always smaller than positive numbers..... you can draw out a numberline and see any number to the left of the number zero is negative and to the right is positive

there are infinitely many positive rational and irrational numbers smaller than .0001. Try .00001. Or how about π/100000.
the answer is 6
That is not possible
30 + 31 = 61 The smaller number is therefore 30.
The numbers are 5 and 6.

4
There are none.
