(a + 1) (a + 8) = 0

a^2 + 8a + a + 8 = 0
a^2 + 9a + 8 = 0
a^2 + a + 8a + 8 = 0
a (a + 1) + 8 (a + 1) = 0
(a + 1) (a + 8) = 0

a + 1 = 0
a = -1

a + 8 = 0
a = -8

Find two numbers a and b such that a+b=0 and ab=36
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

b = 6i   then a = -6i

b = -6i   then a = 6i

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=0

ab=36

a = -b

a(b) = 36

-b * b = 36

- b^2 = 36

b^2 = -36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(-36)

b =± 6i

a = - (± 6i)

so b = 6i   then a = -6i

b = -6i   then a = 6i
