Find two real numbers whose difference is S and whose product is a minimum.
\n" ); document.write( "Two numbers, x & y
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = s
\n" ); document.write( "x = (y+s)
\n" ); document.write( "xy = the product
\n" ); document.write( "replace x with (y+s)
\n" ); document.write( "y(y+s) = y^2 + sy
\n" ); document.write( "The minimum occurs on the axis of symmetry. a=1; b=s
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%28-s%29%2F%282%2A1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-s%2F2\"; the 2nd number
\n" ); document.write( "Find x
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"-s%2F2\" + s; the 1st number
\n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "
