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
