two numbers have a difference of 24. find the numbers if the result of adding their sum to their product is a minimum
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = x(24+x) + x+24 = x^2 + 25x + 24
\n" ); document.write( "f'(x) = 2x + 25 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "--> Minimum at x = -12.5
\n" ); document.write( "--> -12.5 & 11.5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
