Find two positive numbers that satisfy the given requirements: the sum of the first number squared and the second is 54 and the product is a maximum.

\n" ); document.write( "1st: x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: y
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+y = 54
\n" ); document.write( "y = 54-x^2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Product = x(54-x)^2 = 54x-x^3
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "dP/dx = 54-3x^2
\n" ); document.write( "Solve: 54-3x^2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2=54
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "x = sqrt(18)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 54-(sqrt(18))^2 = 36
