Question

(c) b + 1
(d) 1 + b
(4)
Write the pair of integer in which multiplication is (-45) and difference is 12.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

They dont exist

Step-by-step explanation:

look if one of the integers is x, then the other is (x-12) as their difference is 12

x(x-12) = -45 gives you a quadratic equation

$x^{2} - 12x + 45 = 0$

roots of a quadratic equation $ax^{2} + bx + c$ are only real if the discriminant,

D = ${b^{2} -4ac}$ ≥ 0

here, b = -12, a = 1, c = 45

D = 144 - 180 < 0, hence no real roots exist.

Someone else also asked this question, ig its either a misprint or a trick question; either way, there's no real answer for this.
