Answer:

54,18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be x. The other number be represented as 36-x

(x-(36-x ) = 36

open brackets

x - 36 + x = 36

x + x = 36+ 36 = 72

2x = 72

x = 72/2 = 36

x = 36

The product can then be represented as y = x(36-x) or y=36x-x²

The maximum or minimum is always on the axis of symmetry which has the formula x=-b/2a.

In our case, the axis of symmetry is -36/-2, so x=18.

If one number is 18 and the 2 numbers differentiate by 36, the other number is 18 + 36 = 54

So the 2 numbers are 18 and 54 and the minimum product is 972

A coordinate system, or ____________________, is used to locate points in a 2-dimensional plane.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

A coordinate system,or Coordinate plain ,is used to locate points in a 2-dimensional plane.

explanation:

A coordinate plain is formed by the intersection of two lines.One line is vertical and the other is horizontal.The vertical line is called y- axis and the horizontal line is called x-axis. It is two dimensional plane,which means it has length and breadth but no depth.The point where both the lines intersect is called the point of origin.Any point can be located on the coordinate plain by numbers(x,y). These pair of numbers are called coordinates.

It is used to plot points and lines.This system explains algebraic concepts .it has four equal divisions called quadrants namely I ,II,III,IV.

Use the ditributive property for -8 (x / 3)

ioda

Greetings!

"Use the distributive property for $-8 (x / 3)$ .<span>"

The distribute property is used to simplify an expression/equation. This is done by multiplying the contents of the parenthesis by the number outside of bracket.

</span> $-8 (x / 3)$
$=(-8*x / -8*3)$
<span>Simplify.
</span> $=(-8x/-24)$

Hope this helps.
