Answer:

24 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assign the variables x and y to the two numbers we can set up two equations,

x+y = 62

x = y + 14

Substituting the second equation into the first,

(y+14)+y = 62

2y + 14 = 62

subtract 14 on both sides

2y = 48

divideboth sides by 2

y = 24

If y = 24, then x = 38 because x is 14 more than y.

For the following exercises, find a formula for an exponential function that passes through the two points given. (0,6) and (3,7

kirill [66]

$\boxed{\boxed{f(x)=6(5)^x}}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

An exponential function is given by the following form:

$y=ab^x \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ a \ is \ a \ constant \ and \ b \ is \ the \ base$

Here we know two points:

$(0,6) \ and \ (3,750)$

$\bullet \ (0,6) \\ \\ x=0, \ y=6 \\ \\ 6=ab^0 \\ \\ \boxed{a=6} \\ \\\ \\ \bullet \ (3,750) \\ \\ x=3, \ y=750 \\ \\ 750=6b^3 \\ \\ b^3=\frac{750}{6} \\ \\ b=\sqrt[3]{125} \\ \\ \boxed{b=5}$

Finally, our exponential function is:

$\boxed{\boxed{f(x)=6(5)^x}}$

Eight less than the product of a number n and<br> is no more than 94.

vladimir2022 [97]

First, let's call "a number": n

Then. "eight less than a number" can be written as: n-8

This expression "is no more than 14" can be written as: n−8≤14
