PROBLEM #4: Look at the following set of integers.

Question

-8 7 -3 0 12 9

What pair of integers produces a DIFFERENCE with the highest value? Show your work.
What pair of integers has the lowest SUM. Show your work, please! :)

Answer 1

To find the pair of integers that produces the difference with the highest value, we need to find the largest and smallest integers in the set.

The largest integer in the set is 12, and the smallest integer is -8.
So, the pair of integers that produces the difference with the highest value is (12, -8).

To find the pair of integers with the lowest sum, we need to find the smallest and second smallest integers in the set.

The smallest integer in the set is -8, and the second smallest integer is -3.
So, the pair of integers with the lowest sum is (-8, -3).
