What are two numbers whose sum is negative twenty six and product is forty?

Let the numbers be x and y then we have x+y=-26 and xy=40 So x=40/y Now x+40/x=-26 so x 2 40+26x=0 or x 2 26x +40=0 You could solve this with the quadratic equation but let's complete the square x 2 26x +40=0 is the same as (x+13) 2 40-169=0 (x+13) 2 129 x+13= + or = Square root of 129 x=-13+square root of 129 or x=-13-square root of 129 So the answers are =-13+(square root 129) 13 - square root of 129 Their sum is clearly -13+-13=-26 and their product is 40.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
