Let x and y be positive numbers such that xy=13. Thus, y=13/x. We want to minimize t=x+y=x+13/x. Differentiate t=x+13/x.
t'=1-13x-2
Set this equal to zero.
1-13x-2=0
13x-2=1
x2=13
x=sqrt(13)
Now solve for y:
y=13/x=13/sqrt(13)=sqrt(13)
There is no smallest number, since half that number would be smaller. The Greek letter, delta, in lower case is one symbol is used for small numbers. Epsilon and eta are also used for small numbers in calculus.
If 0's are not allowed, then 1.67 is the smallest.
-99,999,999,999 But, if you must have positive numbers, then 10,000,000,001
It is -987. The smallest positive 3-digit integer with unique digits is 102.
There is no such value since rational and irrational numbers are infinitely dense. If there was a positive number, x, that laid claim to having the smallest possible absolute value, it would immediately be challenged by x/2. Then that, in turn, would be challenged by x/4, and then x/8 and so on, and on, and on.
There is no such number. There are two possible interpretations of the question: the smallest number being the most negative or the one with the smallest absolute value. In the first case, negative numbers, like positive numbers go on forever. One less than the previous smallest will always be smaller. In the second case, numbers are infinitely dense. So for positive fractions, half of the previous smallest will be smaller still.
There isn't one. Negative numbers have prime factors and numbers don't stop. The smallest positive numbers with a prime factor is 2.
There is no smallest multiple since there are infinitely many negative numbers. The smallest POSITIVE multiple is 6.
The smallest three-digit even number is -998. However, while considering only positive numbers, the smallest three-digit number even number is then 100.
(3x5x7x11)2 =1334025
If you want positive numbers, the answer is 101.
There is no smallest number, since half that number would be smaller. The Greek letter, delta, in lower case is one symbol is used for small numbers. Epsilon and eta are also used for small numbers in calculus.
The smallest possible number to get from 3 and 4 as your factors is 12...
smallest possible whole number is 6500
If 0's are not allowed, then 1.67 is the smallest.
Not possible. The LCM (least common multiple) is the smallest positive whole number exactly divisible by two or more whole numbers.
The LCM of a set of integers is the smallest positive integer which each of them will divide evenly.An alternative characteristic is that it is the smallest positive integer which is in the times-table of each of the numbers.
