Question

Help asaaaap explain please!!!!!

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Once

`√(xy) = 6`

We know that
`xy = 36`

There are infinity values for
`x, y`, but considering
`x, y \in \mathbb{Z}`

Below we have all the solutions for
`x, y`

Negative:

`\\x = -36 \text{ and } y = -1\\x = -18 \text{ and } y = -2\\x = -12 \text{ and } y = -3\\x = -9 \text{ and } y = -4\\x = -6 \text{ and } y = -6\\x = -4 \text{ and } y = -9\\x = -3 \text{ and } y = -12\\x = -2 \text{ and } y = -18\\x = -1 \text{ and } y = -36\\`

Positives:

`x = 36 \text{ and } y = 1\\x = 18 \text{ and } y = 2\\x = 12 \text{ and } y = 3\\x = 9 \text{ and } y = 4\\x = 6 \text{ and } y = 6\\x = 4 \text{ and } y = 9\\x = 3 \text{ and } y = 12\\x = 2 \text{ and } y = 18\\x = 1 \text{ and } y = 36\\`

We can see that
`x + y \\eq 18`
