Hello there!

The sum of two numbers (x + y) is 8 (=8).
Their product (x * y) is 15 (=15).
x + y = 8
x * y = 15

First, we know that the two number must be positive and under 8, as the product is positive.

Let's list out some numbers that are from 1 to 8 that sum up to 8;
1 + 7
2 + 6
3 + 5
4 + 4

Now, we need to multiply the two numbers that add up to 8, and see which makes a product of 15.
1 * 7 = 7, this does not work.
2 * 6 = 12, this does not work.
3 * 5 = 15, this works!
4 * 4 = 16, this does not work.

Since we are looking for the larger number in our pairs, let's pick the largest one out of the correct pair, which is 5.

The largest number is 5.

I hope this helps!

Assume that the growth rate of a population of ants is proportional to the size of the population at each instant of time. Suppo
Nutka1998 [239]
(1/A)  dA/dt=  C where A is the population of ants and C is a constant
ln(A) = C*t + C1 where C1 is another constant that comes out of integration and t is time in days.
Plugging in: at t=0, A= 100 so C1 = ln(100) = 4.605
at t=3, A=230 so ln(230) = 3*C +4.605 so C = 0.278
Final equation:
ln(A) = 0.278t + 4.605
or:
A = exp(0.278t + 4.605)
After 14 days, A = exp(0.278*14 + 4.605) = 4875.2
