Question

under the QUADRATIC EQUATION(Roots)
find two positive real numbers whose product is 16 and whose difference is 1.

Answer 1

xy = 16
x-y = 1
from second equation y = x-1
so
x(x-1) = 16
x^2 - x - 16 = 0
x = [--1 +- sqrt((1 - 4*1*-6)] / 2
x = 4.53
so y = 3.53

the two numbers are 4.53 and 3.53
