I'm going to assume that you are trying to find the two numbers. Based on the information in the problem, we can create the following equations (where and
are the two numbers):
We have a systems of equations. In this case, it would be easier to use elimination by adding vertically. This produces the result:
To find , substitute the value for
into one of the earlier equations:
The two numbers are 12 and 18.
Answer:
(0, 4.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
*The equation can be put into Desmos, to find the point, but the work to prove it is here*
f(x)=c/1+Ae^-Bx
Y=C
C=18 A=3 -B=-0.1
*Replace x with 0 in the equation, so you know 0 is the x value, and it leads you to the y value*
f(0)=18/1+3e^-o.1(0)
= 18/1+3e^0
=18/1+3(1)
=18/1+3
=18/4
=4.5
x=0 y=4.5
Maximum growth rate = (x,y) --> (0, 4.5)
Hope this helps:))!!
