The lowest possible product would be -6724 given the numbers 82 and -82.
We can find this by setting the first number as x + 164. The other number would have to be simply x since it has to have a 164 difference.
Next we'll multiply the numbers together.
x(x+164)
x^2 + 164x
Now we want to minimize this as much as possible, so we'll find the vertex of this quadratic graph. You can do this by finding the x value as -b/2a, where b is the number attached to x and a is the number attached to x^2
-b/2a = -164/2(1) = -164/2 = -82
So we know one of the values is -82. We can plug that into the equation to find the second.
x + 164
-82 + 164
82

I got the same question and Im pretty sure its d. 20
Answer:
what is your question
Step-by-step explanation:
The operation between a rational and a irrational number that results in a rational number is a multiplication, hence the expression ab could represent a rational number.
<h3>What are rational and irrational numbers?</h3>
If a number can be represented by a fraction, it is rational, otherwise, it is irrational.
The addition/subtraction of a rational and an irrational numbers is irrational, while the multiplication is rational, hence the expression ab could represent a rational number.
