The product of two positive number is 243/25. IF one of them is three times the other. Find the other?
Solution: let first number is y
2nd number is 3y
according to the condition of question
we have
y x 3y = 243/25
2nd number is 3y
according to the condition of question
we have
y x 3y = 243/25
we know that
3y2= 243/25
y2= 243/(25x3)
y2= (81x3)/(25x3) As 243=81x3
simplify by cancel 3 we get
y2= 81/25
Now taking square root on both sides we get
So y will be :
y=(81/25)1/2
y=9/5 and y=-9/5
