Help: find two numbers whose diference is 8 and whose product is a minimun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9, 1 i believe

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Working? @Matttt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

working??

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i mean steps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, no I didn't do any haha. I just took the common sense method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's probably a much better way though

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Lol. ok, but i dont get how we will make the equation for "the least product".

OpenStudy (nenadmatematika):

not true the numbers are 4 and -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think he meant above zero?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

I know that's logical.. But how will be know steps for it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind

OpenStudy (nenadmatematika):

there's no infinite number of solutions, because difference between 10 and -18 is not 8

OpenStudy (nenadmatematika):

I can show you the steps if you'd like :D

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i just wanna know the things for the "least thing". :)

OpenStudy (nenadmatematika):

well, I used the partial derivatives...:D And I guess if you're 15 saifoo you haven't done that yet :D

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Lol, i have done derivatives.. Not really partially ones...

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

But i think i have done it.. Dont really know..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

derivatives of multivariable functions.

OpenStudy (nenadmatematika):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you take the partial derivative of x you hold y or y and z as constant, the rest is just taking the derivative

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Oh! i think i have done those..
