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.

Solve for x x–³= 27/64
MAXImum [283]

The value of x in the equation illustrated is 3/4.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It should be noted that the function that's given based on the information is illustrated as:

x³ = 27/64

It should be noted that in this case, it is important to cube root 27/64 to be able to get the value.

This will be:

x³ = 27/64

3✓x = 27/64

x = 3/4

Therefore, the value is 3/4.

Will used the function C = 1,906(1.03)t to determine the amount of money compounded in his savings account. Select all of the st
NeTakaya

Answer:

The statements (c) and (d) are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula to compute the compound interest is:

C=P(1+r)^{t}

Here,

P = principal amount

r = rate of interest

t = time

The function provided to determine the amount of money compounded in Will's savings account is:

C=1906(1.03)^{t}

On comparing the two equations it can be seen that:

1+r=1.03\\r=1.03-1\\r=0.03

So the interest rate is, 3%.

So, the number 1.03 implies that Will's savings account increases by 3% each year.

And the growth factor of Will's savings account is 1.03.

Thus, the statements (c) and (d) are correct.
