Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using brackets will really help.

y = (x^2 + 4x + ... ) - 5       You are trying to complete the square. The square in this case is a trinomial that is squared.

To do that, you take 1/2 the linear term (4x)/2, drop the x (4/2), and square the result (4/2)^2. The number is 2^2 which is 4.

So far what you have is

y = (x^2 + 4x + 4) - 5  

Now you just can't add 4 without adjusting it somehow. If you do, the whole question will change it's value. Because you added 4 inside the brackets, you must subtract 4 outside the brackets.

What that means is 4  inside - 4 outside. So it looks like this

y = (x^2 + 4x + 4) - 5 - 4

Now you continue on

y = (x + 2)^2 - 9  The 4 combines with the 5 to make nine.

Two numbers whose sum is 44 and whose product is a maximum
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

x = y = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

It would help to know your math course. Do you know any calculus? I'll assume not.

Equations

x + y = 44

Max = xy

Solution

y = 44 - x

Max = x (44 - x)                    Remove the brackets

Max = 44x - x^2                   Use the distributive property to take out - 1 on the right.

Max = - (x^2 - 44x )               Complete the square inside the brackets.

Max = - (x^2 - 44x + (44/2)^2 ) + (44 / 2)^2 . You have to understand this step. What you have done  is taken 1/2 the x term and squared it. You are trying to complete the square. You must compensate by adding that amount on the end of the equation. You add because of that minus sign outside the brackets. The number inside will be minus when the brackets are removed.

Max = -(x - 22)^2 + 484

The maximum occurs when x = 22. That's because - (x - 22) becomes 0.

If it is not zero it will be minus and that will subtract from 484

x + y = 44

xy = 484

When you solve this, you find that x = y = 22 If you need more detail, let me know.
