The sum of two numbers is 100, the difference between the two numbers is 26. What is the number that is less?

1 answer:

6 0

The numbers that would be smaller would be the two with the difference of 26.
27-1=26 where as, if you were to use a 1 in each, 99+1= 100. Therefore 27 and 1 (28) is less than 99 and 1 (100).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=-3(x^2+10x+25)-1\\ \\ y=-3x^2-30x-76\\ \\ dy=-6x-30\\ \\ d^2y=-6\\ \\ \text{Since the second derivative is always negative, when the first derivative is equal to zero the function will be at a global maximum.}\\ \\ dy=0=-6x-30\\ \\ x=-5\\ \\ f(-5)=-1\\ \\ \text{So the global maximum occurs at the point (-5,-1)$
