(a) Complete the following table. Which x-y pair in the table yields the smallest sum x y? x 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 y xy 12 12 12 12 12 12 12(b) Find two positive numbers with a product of 12 and assmall a sum as possible. Hint: The quantity that youneed to minimize is x (12/x), where x 0. ButThis last expression is minimized when the quantitywithin parentheses is zero. Why?(c) Use a calculator to verify that the two numbers obtainedin part (b) produce a sum that is smaller thanany of the sums obtained in part (a).
