Find the maximum product of two numbers whose sum euqals 124. Let's call the numbers "x" and "y". Also, what are those two numbers?

2 answers

x+y=124 or x=124-y dx=dy

A= xy = (124-y)y

dA/dy=0=124-2y

y=62 then solve for x
whew, great! that's what I got, too :-)
Thank You! I have one more, if you're up for it
