One number = x
One number more 26 = x + 26
Their product is -169
x . (x + 26) = -169
x² + 26x = -169
x² + 26x + 169 = 0
x² + 2.13.x + 13² = 0
It can be written by
(x + 13)² since we know that (x + 13)² = x² + 2.x.13 + 13²
So
(x + 13)² = 0
x + 13 = 0
x = -13
Our number is -13
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, according to the question,
let one number be x and another number be x +26 as given in question that the another number is more than 26.
And their product is given as -169.
now, as per the condition of question,
x × (x+26)= -169
or, x^2+26x= -169
or, x^2+26x+169=0
or, (x+13)^2=0
or, (x+13)=0 (root under 0= 0)
or, x=-13.
Therefore, thevalue of x is -13.
And the value of (x+26) is (-13+26)=13.
Checking, 13×-13=-169.
Therefore, the 2 numbers are -13 and 13.
hope it helps...
