We're told:
ab = 6
a + b = -3
So we can say:
b = 6/a
a + (6/a) = -3
a2 + 3a + 6 = 0
a2 + 3a + 9/4 = 9/4 - 6
(a + 3/2)2 = -15/4
a + 3/2 = ±i√15 / 2
a = (-3 ± i√15) / 2
So the two numbers would be (-3 - i√15) and (-3 + i√15)

List numbers that multiply to make 28 and find their sums. Since negative times a negative is positive, list the negatives. -1, -28 = -29 -2, -14 = -15 -4, -7 = -11 Aha! -4 and -7 multiply to make 28 and add to -11; therefore, -4 and -7 are the two numbers.
There are no two real numbers that do, but the complex numbers (2 + i) and (2 - i) will.If you want two numbers that multiply to negative 5 and add to positive 4 then: -1 and 5If you want two numbers that multiply to negative 5 and add to negative 4 then: 1 and -5
