If h and j are positive, (h+j)2 = 73 and h2 +j2 = 51, what is hj?

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$hj = 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(h+j)^2=73,\:\: and\:\: h^2+j^2 =51$ (Given)

$(h+j)^2 = h^2+j^2 +2hj$

$\implies 73= 51 +2hj$

$\implies 73- 51 =2hj$

$\implies 22 =2hj$

$\implies hj = \frac{22}{2}$

$\implies hj = 11$

Find two positive real numbers whose product is a maximum. the sum is 80

Eduardwww [97]

Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

thus $\bf y=ab\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a+b=80\\
b=80-a
\end{cases}\implies y=a(80-a)\implies y=80a-a^2\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{dy}{da}=80-2a$

set the derivative to 0, and check the critical points, there's only one anyway

and do a first-derivative test, to see if it's a maximum
