Answer:

The two numbers are:

x = 500

y = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two numbers x and y, such that:

x + 4*y = 1000

f(x, y) = x*y is maximum.

From the first equation, we can isolate one of the variables to get

x = 1000 - 4y

now we can replace it in f(x, y):

x*y = (1000 - 4*y)*y  = 1000*y - 4*y^2

So now we want to maximize the function:

f(y) =- 4*y^2 + 1000*y

where y must be an integer.

Notice that this is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient (so the arms of the graph will open downwards), thus, the maximum will be at the vertex.

Remember that for a general quadratic equation:

y = a*x^2 + bx + c

the x-value of the vertex is:

x = -b/(2*a)

so, in the case of:

f(y) =- 4*y^2 + 1000*y

the y-value of the vertex will be:

y = -1000/(2*-4) = 1000/8 = 125

So we found the value of y.

now we can use the equation:

x = 1000 - 4*y

x = 1000 - 4*125 = 1000 - 500 = 500

x = 500

Then the two numbers are:

x =500

y = 125

If you're taking trig, the "sum and difference formulas for trig functions" are basic facts that you'll need to learn and commit to memory.  I'd suggest you look up these formulas on the net.  You will likely immediately find listings for the sine, cosine and tangent.
