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,

Slope = 1, y-intercept = -4 ??
dalvyx [7]
Slope (m) = 1
Y-intercept (b) = -4

Formula: y = mx + b
To put it in the y=mx+b formula, you just have to plug it in so the answer would be...

y = 1x + -4

Hope that helped
