You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sum of two numbers is 36. Find the
numbers such that their product is a maximum.
------------------------
Equation:
x + y = 36
Product = xy
---
Substitute and find max:
P = x(36-x)
P = -x^2+36x
----
Max occurs when x = -b/2a = -36/(2*-1) = 18
----
Solve for "y":
y = 36-x
y = 36-18
y = 18
---------
