Answer to Problem 5MPS

-9

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The difference of two numbers is 6.

Calculation:

Let the numbers be a and b .

Given difference of two numbers a − b = 6.

So, a = 6 + b

Product of both the numbers:

  ab=(6+b)b=6b+b2

So,

  y=6b+b2

This is of the form

  y=ax2+dx+c ; whose minimum exists at the vertex x=d2a , if a> 0.

Comparing with the equation , a = 1 , d = 6 , c =0 , so, the minimum is b=62(1)=3

Also, a = b + 6 = 3

So, the minimum product is 3(-3) = -9.
