Step-by-step explanation:
You need to analize all the information given in the exercise.
You know that the actual height of the T-rex on the projector lens is the following:
The height of the projected T-rex is:
Make the conversion from meters to centimeters:
Therefore, the scale factor will be:
Finally, you must substitute values into the equation and then you must evaluate in order to find the scale factor of the projection. You get that this is:
Let the two numbers be x and y, then,
xy = -12 . . . (1)
x + y = -10 . . . (2)
From (2), x = -10 - y . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (1), gives
(-10 - y)y = -12
-10y - y^2 = -12
y^2 + 10y - 12 = 0
Therefore, the two numbers are
and 
xy = -12 . . . (1)
x + y = -10 . . . (2)
From (2), x = -10 - y . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (1), gives
(-10 - y)y = -12
-10y - y^2 = -12
y^2 + 10y - 12 = 0
Therefore, the two numbers are
