14. Find two numbers whose sum is 24 and whose product is as large as possible.
Let x and y are two numbers
It is given that
x + y = 24 , y = 24 - x
and product of xy is maximum
let
Hence, x = 12 is the only critical value
Now,
at x= 12
Hence, x = 12 is the point of maxima
Noe, y = 24 - x
= 24 - 12 = 12
Hence, the value of x and y are 12 and 12 respectively
