what is the product of two numbers when added to 28 is 92. one factor is the square of the other. find the numbers.
Ans:
Let one number be x
Then the other is x^2
Product of the 2, when added to 28, gives 92.
i.e. x%2Ax%5E2+%2B+28+=+92
x%5E3+=+92+-+28+=+64
x+=+4
x%5E2+=+16
So the 2 numbers are highlight%284%29 and highlight%2816%29
