For how many integers $n$ between 1 and 100 does $x^2+x-n$ factor into the product of two linear factors with integer coefficients?

$\mathrm{(A) \ 0 } \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ 1 } \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ 2 } \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ 9 } \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ 10 }$ The problems on this page are copyrighted by the Mathematical Association of America's American Mathematics Competitions. AMC logo.png
