Which two numbers have a sum of 15 and a product of 36

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

3 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y then

x + y = 15 → (1)

xy = 36 → (2)

From (1) : y = 15 - x → (3)

substitute y = 15 - x into (2)

x(15 - x) = 36

15x - x² = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

15x - x² - 36 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 and arrange in standard form )

x² - 15x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 3)(x - 12) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

substitute these values into (3) for corresponding value of y

x = 3 → y = 15 - 3 = 12

x = 12 → y = 15 - 12 = 3

Hence the 2 numbers are 3 and 12

What is the difference of the ones and the tenth digit of the pi?​
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

<h3>2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of pi is 22/7

Expressing as a decimal, the first ten digits of pi is 3.1415926535

The value in the tenth digit of the pi is 5 (tenth value after the decimal point)

The value of the ones is 3(The value before the decimal point)

The difference between both values = 5 - 3

The difference between both values = 2

Hence the difference of the ones and the tenth digit of the pi is 2
