Question

find two real numbers whose sum is 24 and whose prosuct is a minimum

Answer 1

This has infinite answers. However, if you want the minimum of\[|product|,\]that would be \[\{0,24\}.\]

Answer 2

Help me pls??

Answer 3

"real numbers" implies that your solutions will not necessarily be integers.

Represent the two numbers. Let the first be ' ? ' and the second be ' ? ' (you choose.)

Answer 4

Once you've chosen letters to represent the two unknowns, how would you write the product of those unknowns? The sum?

Answer 6

Let the first number be ' ? ' and the second be ' ? ' (you choose: pick letters to represent each of the two numbers)

Answer 17

Meanne, there could be a really small negative number and a really big positive number whose sum is 24, and then the product would be negative, and therefore really small.
