The numbers are: 2+7 = 9 and 2*7 = 14
a2+16 cannot be factored. There are no two numbers whose product is 16 and whose sum is 0.
(r+5)(r-4) The idea is to get two numbers whose product in this case is -20, and whose sum in this case s +1.
Numbers whose product is one is called multiplicative inverses.
two prime numbers whose product is 141 = 3 & 47
3 and 7 are prime numbers whose product is 21.
-76 and 76 whose product is -5776.
Any two numbers whose product is '1' are each others' reciprocals.
find two positive numbers whose product is a maximum. 1.) the sum is s.

Normally, you would do this by finding a pair of numbers whose product is equal to the product of the first term's coefficient multiplied by the last term, and whose sum is equal to the coefficient of the second term. Those numbers could then be used to break the expression down further. In other words, you are looking for two numbers, we'll call them A and B, in which (A + B) = -4 and AB = 5. Unfortunately, there are no such numbers, so that expression can not be factored.
