Okay. Table of values. First number one. Number two would be 22. Product is 22. Keep doing this. Three times, 20th 60 four terms. 19. So now that we get this, we know that if we continue onwards, until we get to 12 times 11 we end up with the 132. We know this is gonna be the maximum product. Therefore, we know the maximum value would be, which means writing in terms of, um we get 23 months on 23 minus on dsquared. Therefore the derivative minus two and 23 minutes to end. So we get zero equals 23 minus two on they're for an is 23 over two, which is 11.5, So the maximum value is 11.5. And remember, we got 11 and 12 is our two numbers.
