Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -202 and add up to -201?"
The answer to your question is:
-202 and 1
Below we illustrate and prove that -202 and 1 multiply to -202 and add up to -201:
-202 × 1 = -202
-202 + 1 = -201
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 - 201x - 202 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x - 202 ) (x + 1)
To summarize, since -202 and 1 multiply to -202 and add up -201, you know that the following is true:
x2 - 201x - 202 = (x - 202 ) (x + 1)
