Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.
Answer:
y > 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
If this was an equation...
(x-3)(x+5) = 0
x = 3, -5
So 3 and -5 are the minimum and the maximums.
So we convert that into an inequality.
-5 <= x <= 3
