The rational number that lies exactly halfway between a/b and c/d on a number line is x = (ad + bc)/2bd or 1/2(a/b + c/d).

<h3>How to calculate the mid-value?</h3>

To calculate the mid-value of two numbers x and y, find the average of these two numbers. I.e., (x + y)/2

Thus, the average of these two numbers is the mid-value between them.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

It is given that,

a/b and c/d are the two rational numbers on a number line.

Consider the required rational number that lies exactly halfway between a/b and c/d as 'x'.

Then, the mid-value of these two rational numbers is

(a/b + c/d)/2

⇒ (ad + bc)/2bd  ...(i)

To know that the obtained rational number is exactly halfway between a/b and c/d, consider the distance from a/b to x and c/d to x.

So, the distance from a/b to x is - "x - a/b" (x > a/b) and

the distance from x to c/d is - "c/d - x"

From the given condition, the above-obtained distances are equal

⇒ x - a/b = c/d - x

⇒ x + x = a/b + c/d

⇒ 2x = (ad + bc)/bd

⇒ x = (ad + bc)/2bd ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), it is concluded that the required rational number is

x = (ad + bc)/2bd

Write the ordered pair that represents MP. Then find the magnitude of MP.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

(23,-4):\sqrt{545} units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that M(-19,4)and P(4,0)

We have to find the ordered pair that represents MP and find the magnitude of MP.

MP=P-M

MP=(4,0)-(-19,4)=(4+19,0-4)

MP=(23,-4)

Magnitude of MP=\sqrt{(23)^2+(-4)^2}

Magnitude of MP=\sqrt{529+16}

Magnitude of MP=\sqrt{545} units

Hence, .option c is true.

Answer:c.(23,-4):\sqrt{545} units

What’s the mean of the data set 17,24,26,13
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, add up all the numbers in the data set, and then divide by the number of terms in the data set

<em>Add </em>

Add up the numbers in the data set

17+24+26+13

80

<em>Divide </em>

Divide by the number of terms in the data set

In this case, there are 4 terms (17, 24, 26, 13)

80/4=20

The mean of the data set is 20
