Two numbers have a difference of 8 what is the minimum product of these numbers

-16 (assuming you are allowed both positive and negative numbers)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use two negative numbers, the result will be a positive, so the only way to get a number below zero is to use one positive and one negative number.

Here's the only options that provide one negative and one positive number:

1 x -7 = -7

2 x -6 = -12

3 x -5 = -15

4 x -4 = -16

5 x -3 = -15

6 x -2 = -12

7 x -1 = -7

Therefore, -16 is the lowest possible product of two numbers with a difference of 8

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
