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,

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

r + 2 - 8r = -3 - 8r

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>r</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                    -7r + 2 = -3 - 8r
  2. Add 8r to both sides:                   r + 2 = -3
  3. Subtract 2 on both sides:            r = -5

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in r into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>r</em>:                    -5 + 2 - 8(-5) = -3 - 8(-5)
  2. Multiply:                              -5 + 2 + 40 = -3 + 40
  3. Add:                                    -3 + 40 = -3 + 40
  4. Add:                                    37 = 37

Here we see that 37 does indeed equal 37.

∴ r = -5 is a solution of the equation.

<u>Step 4: Define equation</u>

-4x = x + 5

<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract <em>x</em> on both sides:                    -5x = 5
  2. Divide -5 on both sides:                      x = -1

<u>Step 6: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    -4(-1) = -1 + 5
  2. Multiply:                               4 = -1 + 5
  3. Add:                                     4 = 4

Here we see that 4 does indeed equal 4.

∴ x = -1 is a solution of the equation.

Solve log (x + 1) = –x2 + 10 by graphing
Anit [1.1K]
 Your answer would be x = 3.0645

CHECK
log (3.0645 + 1) ?=? -(3.0645)2 + 10
log 4.0645 ?=? -9.3912 + 10
0.609 ?=? 0.609

Hope this helps!

So in short your answer is x = 3.0645
