Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent the two integers with the variables and
.
From the problem statement, we can create the following two equations:
With the first equation, we can subtract from both sides to isolate the
variable to the left-hand side:
Now that we have a value for , we can plug it into the second equation and solve for
:
Now, let's move everything to one side of the equation:
Factoring this quadratic will give us two values for :
Since we now know , we can plug this back into either of the original equations to get a value for
, which will be
.
So the two numbers that sum to and have a product of
are
.
Substitute <em>u</em> = <em>t</em> ³/2592 and d<em>u</em> = <em>t</em> ²/864 d<em>t</em>. Then
The probability that a 12 hour surgery is successful is <em>P</em> (12), so letting <em>T</em> = 12 gives
