Let one of the numbers be x. The other number cab then be represented as 36-x (x+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 add to 36, the other number is 18 as well.
So the 2 numbers are 18 and 18 and the maximum product is 324,

PtichkaEL [24]
The answer is 1/(x+4)
Explanation:
You would factor out the denominator
So,
(X-4)(x+4)=x^2-16
So, x-4/(x+4)(x-4)
Then x-4 cancels each other out from the numerator and denominator
Leaving 1/x+4
