Question 768342
<pre>
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*x^2 + 28 = 92}}}

{{{x^3 = 92 - 28 = 64}}}
{{{x = 4}}}
{{{x^2 = 16}}}

So the 2 numbers are {{{highlight(4)}}} and {{{highlight(16)}}}
