3. The sum of the reciprocals of two positive numbers is $\displaystyle \frac{7}{36}$ and the product of the numbers is 108. Find the numbers.
Show/Hide Solution
$\begin{array}{l}\text{Let}\ \text{the two positive numbers be }x\ \text{and }y.\\\\\text{By the problem,}\\\\\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}+\displaystyle \frac{1}{y}=\displaystyle \frac{7}{{36}}\cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \ (1)\\\\xy=108\ \ \ \ \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot (2)\\\\\text{From equation }(2)\text{,we have}\\\\y=\displaystyle \frac{{108}}{x}\ \ \ \ \ \ \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot (3)\\\\\text{Substituting}\ y=\displaystyle \frac{{108}}{x}\text{ in equation }(1),\\\\\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}+\displaystyle \frac{1}{{\displaystyle \frac{{108}}{x}}}=\displaystyle \frac{7}{{36}}\\\\\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}+\displaystyle \frac{x}{{108}}=\displaystyle \frac{7}{{36}}\\\\\text{Multiplying both sides of equation by}\ 108x,\\\\108+{{x}^{2}}=21x\\\\\therefore \ \ {{x}^{2}}+21x-108=0\\\\(x-9)(x-12)=0\\\\x=9\ \text{or}\ x=12\\\\\text{When}\ x=9,y=\displaystyle \frac{{108}}{9}=12\\\\\text{When}\ x=12,y=\displaystyle \frac{{108}}{{12}}=9\\\\\therefore \ \ \text{The two positive numbers are }9\text{ and 12}\text{.}\end{array}$
