Find two positive numbers whose product is 16 and whose sum is a minimum. (If both values are the same number, enter it into both blanks.) (smaller number) (larger number)

4 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 numbers that will be X and Y

X * Y = 16 => Y = 16 / X

We must minimize the sum, therefore:

S = X + Y

S = X + 16 / X

we derive and equal 0 and we are left with:

dS / dA = 1 - 16 / (X ^ 2) = 0

1 = 16 / X ^ 2

X ^ 2 = 16

X = 4

in the case of Y:

Y = 16/4 = 4

Therefore the numbers are 4 and 4.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

she gotta workk that a 2
