    make one positive and the other negative, like 5 and -4

    (sum =1,product =-20)

    same for the next one 5 and -4

    (5 - -4=9 > 5+-4 =1

    divide two negative integers

    -2 and -1 (quotient =2, sum =-3)

    same as the first one, one positive other negative

    4 and -3 (-4/3 > -12)

    I will 1st of all state the four insinuated a b>ab...eq1 a-b>a b...eq2 a/b>ab..eq3 a/b>a b...eq4 from eq2 by simplifying u see that 0>b then by dividing eq1 by equ3 u will have that b^2 b-1>0 i.e a quadratic therefore through the knowledge that 0>b then we know that the quadratic ans should be (-1-squareroot of 5)/2 and finally u can reverse the variables to see that a=(the squareroot of 5 minus 1)/2
