Question

2 numbers whose product is 5 and sum is -8

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$let \: the \: two \: numbers \: be \: x \\ \: \: \: \: therefore \: the \: other \: number \: \\ \: \: \: \: will \: be \: (- 8 - x) \\ according \: to \: the \: question \: \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = > x( - 8 - x) = 5 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = > - 8x - {x}^{2} = 5 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = > {x}^{2} + 8x + 5 = 0 \\ which \: means \: the \: question \: is \: \\ wrong \: as \: it \: will \: not \: result \\ \: numbers.$
