Find two positive numbers whose difference is 30 and whose product is 2584.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

$38$ and $68$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the smaller one of the two number.

$x$ must be a positive integer. The other number would be $(x + 30)$ .

The question states that the product of the two numbers is $2584$ . In other words:

$x\, (x + 30) = 2584$ .

Rearrange this equation and solve for $x$ :

$x^{2} + 30\, x - 2584 = 0$ .

The first root of this quadratic equation would be:

$\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 \times (-2584)}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{900 + 10336}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30) + \sqrt{11236}}{2} \\ &= \frac{(-30)}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{11236}{2^{2}}} \\ &= (-15) + \sqrt{2809} \\ &= (-15) + 53 \\ &= 38 \end{aligned}$ .
