Answer

\( \boxed{\text{Final Answer: The two numbers are 25 and 25, and their maximum product is 625}} \)

Steps

Step 1 :Let the two numbers be x and y, such that x + y = 50

Step 2 :Express y as (50 - x)

Step 3 :Find the maximum product P = x * (50 - x)

Step 4 :Differentiate P with respect to x: dP/dx = 50 - 2x

Step 5 :Find the critical points: 50 - 2x = 0, x = 25

Step 6 :The maximum product is P = 25 * (50 - 25) = 625

Step 7 :\( \boxed{\text{Final Answer: The two numbers are 25 and 25, and their maximum product is 625}} \)
