Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
66
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
Solving for the midpoint:
x - coordinate: (7.6 + 4.6)/2 = 6.1
y - coordinate: (10.1 + 3.1)/2 = 6.6
Midpoint: (6.1 , 6.6)
Solving for the distance:
Distance formula: sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )
D = sqrt( (7.6 - 4.6)^2 + (10.1 - 3.1)^2 <span>)
D = sqrt( 3^2 + 7^2)
D = sqrt(58)
D = 7.62 units
Distance = 7.62 units</span>
