Question
**Problem Statement:**

Of all numbers whose difference is 4, find the two that have the minimum product.

**Input Fields:**

- \( x = \) [Input box]
- \( y = \) [Input box]

This exercise involves finding two numbers, \( x \) and \( y \), such that the difference \( x - y = 4 \), and their product \( x \times y \) is minimized. Use calculus or algebra to solve this optimization problem, and input the values of \( x \) and \( y \) in the boxes provided.
