Find two positive numbers that satisfy the given requirements.
The Product is 192 and the sum is a minimum.
I said that x*y=192 and y=192/x and that dy/dx= -192/x^2
I thought that we were supposed to set the derivitive equal to zero in order to find the local extrema... however -192/x^2 does not equal 0...right?
I'm dazed and confused... can someone please help?
