Two integers, a and b have product of -48 what is the greatest possible sum of a and b.

Mathematics

The factors of 48 are:
1 x 48
2 x 24
3 x 16
4 x 12
6 x 8
and visa versa:   48 x 1  etc.

To make the product negative, one of the factors has to be positive and one has to be negative.  To find the greatest sum, make the bigger number the positive factor and the smaller number the negative factor.  So, -1 x 48 = -48 and the sum of -1 + 48 = 47 which would be the greatest possible sum.

PLEASE HELP!! Ill mark the brainliest!!!!

Answer:

x = 5√2

y = 5√6

z = 5√3

ΔABC ~ ΔBDC ~ ΔADB

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC, ΔBDC, and ΔADB are all similar triangles to each other.

By definition of similar triangles, the corresponding sides have the same ratios.

CD from ΔBDC corresponds to BD from ΔADB, and BD from ΔBDC corresponds to AD from ΔADB. So:

CD / BD = BD / AD

10 / x = x / 5

x² = 50

x = 5√2

Since ΔBDC is right, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for y:

CD² + BD² = BC²

10² + (5√2)² = y²

y² = 100 + 50 = 150

y = 5√6

Again, since ΔΔABD is right, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for z:

AD² + BD² = AB²

5² + (5√2)² = z²

z² = 25 + 50 = 75

z = 5√3

Mind my hand writing but I’m not sure what sign to put the “-“ or the “+” ?
Ierofanga [76]

hello!

so the answer that you put there is actually wrong and i'll tell you why and how to do it

so since you are adding the two:

-8x + 9x = x (so you got this part right)

-12 + 4 = -8 (this is where you got it wrong, -12 added 4 goes up in value to -8)

so the final answer is x - 8

i hope this helped and have a nice day!
