Among all pairs of numbers whose difference is 88 , find a pair whose product is as small as possible. What is the minimum product?

Hmm

small means negative

if we tried - 2 and 86 that is - 172

if we tried - 3 and 85 that is product of - 225

but we have to keep one negative and one positive becuase as soon as both are negative, the product becomes positive

it cannot be 0

to get it as large as possible, make them the same, but negtaives of each other

88/2=44

-44 and 44

product is - 1936

the minimum product is - 1936
