Let's find two consecutive positive integers whose sum of squares equals 884. We can represent the two consecutive integers as \( n \) and \( n + 1 \).
The equation for the sum of their squares will be:
\[
n^2 + (n + 1)^2 = 884
\]
Expanding the equation, we have:
\[
n^2 + (n^2 + 2n + 1) = 884
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2n^2 + 2n + 1 = 884
\]
Subtracting 884 from both sides gives:
\[
2n^2 + 2n + 1 - 884 = 0
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2n^2 + 2n - 883 = 0
\]
We can divide the entire equation by 2 to make it simpler:
\[
n^2 + n - 441.5 = 0
\]
Since this isn't yielding integer results, let's revert to the standard format and solve it as a quadratic equation:
Using the quadratic formula \( n = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \):
Here, \( a = 2 \), \( b = 2 \), and \( c = -883 \):
\[
b^2 - 4ac = 2^2 - 4 \times 2 \times (-883) = 4 + 7064 = 7068
\]
Now let's calculate \( n \):
\[
n = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{7068}}{2 \times 2} = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{7068}}{4}
\]
Calculating \( \sqrt{7068} \):
The approximate value is \( \sqrt{7068} \approx 84 \).
So,
\[
n \approx \frac{-2 + 84}{4} \approx \frac{82}{4} = 20.5
\]
This indicates integers \( n = 20 \) and \( n = 21 \).
Now confirm their squares:
\[
20^2 + 21^2 = 400 + 441 = 841 \text{ (not equal to 884)}
\]
Let's try another attempt recognizing any misevaluation possibilities.
The correct foundation starts from reevaluating sums or reconsidering integer forms.
If instead, we outlined our integers adequately positioned, \( n^2 + (n+1)^2 \) could yield different breakups repeating through trial and numeral test algorithms:
The achieved \( n \) may be evaluated systematically from bounds set \( n \geq 20, 21 \).
It appears direct pairs yield 30,31 to test proximate sums as posit:
Checking:
\[
30^2 + 31^2 = 900 + 961 = 1861 \quad \text{(again doesn't fit)}
\]
Employ guidance back to consistency of squares, upcasting and retrying \(\pm\) ranges consistently.
