The Product Of Two Numbers Is 436 And The Sum Of Their Squares Is 186. The Difference Of The Numbers Is:

Answer»

Let the numbers be X and y.

Then, xy = 186 and x2 + Y2 = 436.

=> (x y)

2 = x2 + y2 2xy

= 436 (

2 x 186)

= 64

=> x y

= SQRT(64)

= 8.

Let the numbers be x and y.

Then, xy = 186 and x2 + y2 = 436.

=> (x y)

2 = x2 + y2 2xy

= 436 (

2 x 186)

= 64

=> x y

= SQRT(64)

= 8.

A Two Digit Number Is Such That The Product Of The Digits Is 6. When 45 Is Added To The Number, Then The Digits Are Reversed. The Number Is:

Answer»

Let the ten's and unit digit be X and 8/x respectively.

Then, 10x + 6/x + 45 = 10 x 6/x + x

=> 10x2 + 6 + 45x = 60 + x2

=> 9X2 + 45x 54

= 0

=> x2 + 5X 6

= 0

=> (x + 6)(x 1)

= 0

=> x = 1

So the number is 16

Let the ten's and unit digit be x and 8/x respectively.

Then, 10x + 6/x + 45 = 10 x 6/x + x

=> 10x2 + 6 + 45x = 60 + x2

=> 9x2 + 45x 54

= 0

=> x2 + 5x 6

= 0

=> (x + 6)(x 1)

= 0

=> x = 1

So the number is 16
