The lowest possible product would be -6724 given the numbers 82 and -82.
We can find this by setting the first number as x + 164. The other number would have to be simply x since it has to have a 164 difference.
Next we'll multiply the numbers together.
x(x+164)
x^2 + 164x
Now we want to minimize this as much as possible, so we'll find the vertex of this quadratic graph. You can do this by finding the x value as -b/2a, where b is the number attached to x and a is the number attached to x^2
-b/2a = -164/2(1) = -164/2 = -82
So we know one of the values is -82. We can plug that into the equation to find the second.
x + 164
-82 + 164
82
For A put 160 (division sign} 4.
For B put -40
Answer: 41.832
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to write decimals without decimals when multiplying. for this I would do
3486 x 12 which equals 41832 then You would move the decimal up from 3 spaces from the 2 from 41832 which would put the decimal between the 1 and 8
