Answer:
7.
Step-by-step explanation:
ab = 12 and a and b are integers.
Factoring 12 into integers:-
12 = 1*2*2*3
so 12 = 1*12
12 = 2*6
12 = 4*3
- so the least value of a + b = 7.
1×12=12
2×6=12
3×4=12
(-1)×(-12)=12
(-2)×(-6)=12
(-3)×(-4)=12
Obviously, the least sum is (-1)+(-12) = -13
Therefore the answer is :
a = -1 and b = -12
2×6=12
3×4=12
(-1)×(-12)=12
(-2)×(-6)=12
(-3)×(-4)=12
Obviously, the least sum is (-1)+(-12) = -13
Therefore the answer is :
a = -1 and b = -12
