<span>let the two number be x and y
x + y = 156
y = 156 - x
Product of the 2 numbers:
x(156 - x) = </span>
<span>
This maximum value occurs when x = -b / (2a). [This is a standard rule]
</span>
a = -1 and b = 156
x =
x = 78
y = 156 - 78 = 78
product = 78 x 78 = <span>6084 </span>
So the two positive numbers are 78 and 78.
