The difference of two numbers is 2 and the product of the numbers is 41.25. A. Write an equation representing the product B. Fin
2 answers:
Let us say first number is x.
Let us say second number is y.
We are given that:
The difference of the two numbers is 2.
.................(1)
We are also given that:
product of the numbers is 41.25
............(2)
Plugging the value of x from equation (1) in (2)
On solving we will get,
y=5.5 and y=-7.5
So if y=5.5,
x= 2+y = 7.5
Answer : The first number is 7.5 and the second number is 5.5

When you see questions of this nature, test the individual inequalities and look out for their intersection.
For
Choose a point in the lower or upper half plane created by the line
The above line is the one which goes through the origin.
Now testing (1,0) yields,
That is,
This statement is true. So we shade the lower half of
For
We test for the origin because, it is not passing through the origin.
This yields
This statement is false so we shade the upper half.
The intersection is the region shaded in B. The top right graph
