Draw the graph of the function .
Draw a co-ordinate plane.
\Plot the points.
\Draw a smooth curve through this points.
\The graph has no x-intercepts.
\The original equation has no real solutions.
\Therefore it is not possible for any two real numbers having sum 12 product .
The quadratic equation is .
The graph of the quadratic equation is
\It is not possible for any two real numbers having sum 12 and product .
