Answer:
c. a: 4
b: 12
c: 9
4x² +12x+9=0
(2x+3)(2x+3)= 0
(2x+3)²=0 {square root both sides}
2x+3=0
2x=-3
x= -3/2
Y - x = 154
let z = xy = x(154 + x) = x^2 + 154x
we need to find the minimum value of z
z' = 2x + 154 which = zero for minm or maxm value
x = -77 and y = 154 -77 = 77
so the 2 numbers are -77 and 77
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
the volume of a cylinder is given by:

and the volume of a cone is given by:

since both have the same height and radius, we can solve each equation for
(because this quantity is the same in both figures) and then match the expressions we find:
from the cylinder's volume formula:

and from the cone's volume formula:

matching the two previous expressions:

we solve for the volume of a cone
:

substituting the value of the cylinder's volume
