Question

If the sum of two natural numbers is 8 and their products is -33 .find the number

Answer 1

According to me,

this question is wrong, because the product of two natural numbers can't be negative.

Answer 2

let two numbers be x and y

x+y=8

xy =-33

x =-33/y put in x+y=8

-33/y+y=8

(y)^2-8y-33=0

(y)^2-11y+3y-33=0

y(y-11)+3(y-11)=0

y=11 or y=-3

when y=11 then x=-3

when y=-3 then x=11

ans. two numbers are 11 & -3
