Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s pretty simple!

So first we set up the proportion, 6:10

We know that 3 is a common factor for 6 and 9, so we divide 6 by 2 and 10 by 2 and get the proportion 3:5, now we multiply both numbers by 3,

9:15!

Two numbers have a difference of 24. What is the sum of their squares if it is a minimum?
seraphim [82]
Let "a" and "b" be some number where:

a - b = 24

We want to find where a^2 + b^2 is a minimum.  Instead of just logically figuring out that the answer is where a=b=12, I'll just use derivatives.

So we can first substitute for "a" where a = b+24

So we have (b+24)^2 + b^2 = b^2 +48b +576 + b^2
And that equals 2b^2 +48b +576

Then we take the derivative and set it equal to zero:

4b +48 = 0
4(b+12) = 0
b + 12 = 0
b = -12

Thus "a" must equal 12.

So:
a = 12
b = -12

And the sum of those two numbers squared is (12)^2 + (-12)^2 = 144 + 144 = 288.

The smallest sum is 288.
