first number: x

second number: y

Sum: x + y = -9   ⇒   y = -x - 9

Product: xy = 20  ⇒ x(-x - 9) = 20

                                 -x² - 9x = 20

                                          0 = x² + 9x + 20

                                           0 = (x + 4)(x + 5)

                           0 = x + 4      or     0 = x + 5

                           x = -4           or      x = -5

y = -x - 9  ⇒  y = -(-4) - 9 = -5    or    y = -(-5) - 9 = -4

Answer: -4, -5

Work out the area of the shaded region.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: Area of the shaded region is 6.867 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area corresponds to the difference of the area of the rectangle and the area of the semicircle.

Area of the rectangle = 4 times 8 = 32 cm^2

Area of the semicircle = 0.5 * pi * r^2   (where r is the radius, i.e., half of the diameters, i.e., 4 cm). So Area = 0.5*pi*4^2 = 25.133 cm^2

The difference: 32 - 25.133 = 6.867 cm^2 (area of the shaded region)
