Two numbers have a product of −24 and a difference of 11. What are the two numbers?

-8 and 3, or -3 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = -24

x - y = 11

x = y + 11

y(y + 11) = -24

y^2 + 11x + 24 = 0

(y + 8)(y + 3) = 0

y = -8 or y = -3

x = 3 or x = 8

the numbers are -8 and 3, or -3 and 8

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
