Question

Find two positive numbers whose product is 49 and whose sum is a minimum. (If both values are the same number, enter it into both blanks.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

step 1;

49 = 1 x 49

1 + 49 = 50

step 2;

49 = 7 x 7

7+7 = 14

*Hence 7 and 7 are the two positive numbers whose product is 49 and whose sum is minimum.

So the answer for the blanks is 7 and 7
