X+y=62 ; x-y=12 Solve for x in one equation and plug that value into the other equation. ===> x=12+y ; 12+y+y=62 Subtract 12 to both sides (2y=50), then divide by 2 to find y (y=25). Now, plug 25 as y into x=12+y, getting x=37. Your two numbers are 37 and 25.

Answer:  The required numbers are 37 and 25.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the sum of two numbers is 62 and their difference is 12.

We are to find the numbers.

Let x and y represents he given numbers.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y=62~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\x-y=12~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

(x+y)+(x-y)=62+12\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=74\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{74}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=37.

And, from equation (i), we get

37+y=62\\\\\Rightarrow y=62-37\\\\\Rightarrow y=25.

Thus, the required numbers are 37 and 25.

Given that aₙ = (-2) (5)ⁿ⁻1 for a geometric sequence, determine the common ratio:
patriot [66]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the geometric sequence is

a_n=(-2)(5)^{n-1}

In general the nth term of a geometric sequence is

a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}

By comparism;

r=5 is the common ratio of the sequence.

Or

a_1=(-2)(5)^{1-1}=-2

a_2=(-2)(5)^{2-1}=-10

Common ratio is

r=\frac{-10}{-2}=5

Find formula for exponential function passing through points (-3,3/8) and (2/12)
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

y = 3 · 2ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function is:

y = abˣ

Plug in the points:

⅜ = ab⁻³

12 = ab²

Solve the system of equations.  Start by dividing the second equation by the first:

12 / ⅜ = (ab²) / (ab⁻³)

32 = b⁵

b = 2

Plug into either equation to find a:

a = 3

Therefore:

y = 3 · 2ˣ
