2. The sum of the reciprocals of two consecutive positive integers is 17/72. Write an equation that can be used to find the two

integers. What are the integers?
Steve helped me yesterday and gave me the hint 8+9=17. Then I thought about it and saw 8*9=72, but I am confused about how to put it into an equation.

To answer this item, we let x be the first positive integer. Then, the second would be x+1. Their reciprocals would be 1/x and 1/(x+1). Then, the equation that would best represent the scenario above is,
                            1/x + 1/(x+1) = 17/72
Solving the equation above,
                           ((x+1) + x) / (x)(x+1) = 17/72
If we take the numerators of both sides of the equation,
                              (x+1) + x = 17
The value of x from the equation is 8 and x+1 would be 9. Thus, the answer would be 8 and 9.

Could someone help me find the velocity of the object pls im stuck
Mila [183]

Answer:

10 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity= Position/Time

You can take any point on the line to calculate velocity.

Lets take t=1s

At t=1, position=10m

velocity= 10m/1s

=10 m/s

You can take any other point too, velocity will remain same.

For eg.

At t=5s

position=50m

velocity=50/5

=10m/s

Hope it helps :-)

Let m,n,p, and q represent nonzero positive integers. find a number in terms of m,n,p, and q that is halfway between m/n and p/q
alukav5142 [94]
This is the same as averaging. You add them and divide by 2.

((m/n) + (p/q))/2 would be a number in between m/n and p/q.

Do note that n and q must be nonzero, but luckily that is a given.
