Let 
x-------> the first number
y-------> the second number
P-----> product

we know that
x+2y=56----------> 2y=56-x-----> y=28-0.5x------> equation 1
P=x*y----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
P=x*[28-0.5x]-----> P=28x-0.5x²

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the vertex is the point (28,392)
that means
for x=28
the product is 392    (maximum) 
find the value of y
y=28-0.5x----> y=28-0.5*28----> y=14

the answer is
the numbers are 28 and 14

Evaluating Polynomials:

a. f(1) = -10  

b. f(-3) = -239  

c. f(2)² = 3125

Factoring Polynomials:

a. (x + 1)(x² - 5x + 6) = (x + 1)(x - 3)(x - 2)  

b. (x² - x - 6)(x² + 6x + 9) = (x - 3)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 3)  

c. x³ + 3x² - 4x - 12 = (x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 2)(x - 2)(x + 2)

WHat is the missing height?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

w = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the area of a triangle is given by

A = (1/2) x base length x height

we are given:

A = 10 cm²

base length = 5 cm

height = w

substituting the values above into the equation,

A = (1/2) x base length x height

10 = (1/2) x 5 x w

20 = 5w

w = 20/5

w = 4 cm
