Question

Find 2 integers who difference is 24 and whose product is as small as possible.

Answer 1

oh this one's easier than the other ones xD :P
so if x and y represent the two integers
then x - y = 24
and Min = xy

Answer 2

from x - y = 24
you can get that y = x - 24
so M = x(x-24)
= x^2 - 24x

then take the derivative of M

Answer 3

one sec jiggles

Answer 4

2x-24?

Answer 5

then to minimize it
2x - 24 = 0 solve for x

Answer 6

is it just 12?

Answer 7

x = 12 yup
then plug into y = x - 24

Answer 8

-12?
