Problems on numbers
1. The sum of the 2 numbers is 15 and their product is 26. What will be the sum of their reciprocals?
Solution:
Let the 2 numbers be x and y.
(1/x)+(1/y)= y+x/xy
= 15/26.
2. If the sum of 2 numbers 35 and the sum of their squares is 625. Find their product.
Solution:
Let the numbers be x and y.
x+y = 35
x2+y2 = 625
2xy = x2+y2+2xy-(x2+y2)
= (x+y)2-
(x2+y2)
= 352-625
= 1225-625
2xy = 600
xy =
300.
