Find two numbers whose difference is 124 and whose product is a minimum. (smaller number) (larger number)

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: unknown number 1

y: unknown number 2

The difference of both numbers is 124:

The product of both numbers is:

Writing the product based on a variable we have:

Rewriting:

To find the minimum of the function, we must derive:

We equal zero and clear x:

Then, the value of the other number is given by:

The searched numbers that meet both conditions are:

smaller number = 62

larger number = -62

answer: what in the world is this

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
