Let us consider,
The first integer number = x
Thus, the next consecutive positive integer will be = x + 1
Product of two consecutive integers = x × (x +1) = 306
⇒ x2 + x = 306
⇒ x2 + x – 306 = 0
Therefore, the two integers x and x+1, satisfies the quadratic equation, x2 + x – 306 = 0, which is the required representation of the problem mathematically.
