Answer:

Distance LM = 5.20 unit (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates;

L(1, 4, 7) and M(2, 9, 8)

Find:

Distance LM

Computation:

Distance between three-dimensional plane = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² + (z2 - z1)²

Distance LM = √(2 - 1)² + (9 - 4)² + (8 - 7)²

Distance LM = √(1)² + (5)² + (1)²

Distance LM = √1 + 25 + 1

Distance LM = √27

Distance LM = 3√3 unit

Distance LM = 3(1.732)

Distance LM = 5.196

Distance LM = 5.20 unit (Approx.)

One positive number is 14 less than another positive number. If the reciprocal of the smaller number is added to five times the

Kipish [7]

Let's call the two numbers $s$ and $l$ .

Given these variables, we can say: $s = l - 14$ , based on the first sentence in the problem.

Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

$\dfrac{1}{s} + 5\Big( \dfrac{1}{l} \Big) = \dfrac{1}{4}$

To solve, we can simply substitute $l -14$ in for $s$ in the second equation and solve.

$\dfrac{1}{l - 14} + \dfrac{5}{l} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Set up

$\dfrac{l}{l(l - 14)} + \dfrac{5(l - 14)}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition

$\dfrac{l + 5l - 70}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Simplify

$4(6l - 70) = l(l - 14)$

Cross multiplication ( $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \Rightarrow ad = bc$ )

$24l - 280 = l^2 - 14l$

Simplify

$l^2 - 38l + 280 = 0$

Subtract $24l - 280$ from both sides of the equation

$(l - 10)(l - 28) = 0$

Factor left side of the equation

$l = 10, 28$

Zero Product Property

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,

$s = 10 - 14 = -4$ ,
