Natural numbers: Counting things! You look around your room and see an electronic device, then another, then another! You just counted to 3 using the natural numbers.
Whole numbers! You try to look for electronic devices and realise that they’re all gone. You have zero electronic devices, and you just used whole numbers.
You go online to find where your electronic devices went, and realise they were taken because you’re in debt to the bank so they took some of your stuff. You’re in negative numbers, and now you’ve used integers.
Answer:
midpoint formula: (x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2
distance: √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
Step-by-step explanation:
What points are you trying to calculate the distance and the midpoint for?
Here is the answer with my work !!
Notice the following pattern:
2 - 0 = 2
6 - 2 = 4
12 - 6 = 6
20 - 12 = 8
It's reasonable to assume that consecutive terms in the sequence differ by increasing multiples of 2, so that for the next number (call it x) we expect to see
x - 20 = 10 ==> x = 30
and for the number after that (call it y) we would see
y - x = y - 30 = 12 ==> y = 42
