Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. We have the following system of equations: x + y = 400 and xy = 960000. From the first equation, we can express y in terms of x as y = 400 - x. Substituting this into the second equation gives us x(400 - x) = 960000. Simplifying this quadratic equation gives us x^2 - 400x + 960000 = 0. Solving for x using the quadratic formula, we get x = 200 ± 20√241. Therefore, the two numbers are 200 + 20√241 and 200 - 20√241.

if 1200 is positive, 960000 has to be negative
