Find two positive numbers that satisfy the given requirements. the sum of the first number squared and the second number is 57 and the product is a maximum.

Answered by maham237 @



We're looking for two positive numbers that satisfy this constraint:

 x^2+y=57 xy=\text{ max}

The question is, how would we find the maximum? Well, we can solve for y to get:

 y=57-x^2

Now, we sub our new found y value into the product to get:

 57x-x^3=\text{ max}

So, to find the extrema of this we have to figure out when the derivative is 0, so:

 57-3x^2=0 \implies \\3x^2=57 \implies\\ x^2=19 \implies\\ x=\sqrt{19}

That would mean our second number would be 38, and the maximum product would be  38\sqrt{19}
