If p=√32−√24 and q=√50−√48, then:
p=√32−√24
p=5.656−4.898=0.758
q=√50+√48
q=7.071−6.928=0.089
∴p>q
In the following, you are given the product pq and the sum p + q, Determine p and q:
(i) pq = 18 and p + q = 11; (ii) pq = 32 and p + q = − 12; (iii) pq = − 24 and p + q = 2; (iv) pq = − 12 and p + q = 11; (v) pq = − 6 and p + q = − 5; (vi) pq = − 44 and p + q = − 7.
