Question

An interval has the notation (2,14). Find the

distance from the midpoint of the interval to
either endpoint.

Answer 1

The distance from the midpoint of the interval to either endpoint is 6 units

Explanation:

step 1

Find the midpoint of the interval

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two numbers is equal to

`M=((x1+x2)/(2))`

substitute

`M=((2+14)/(2))`

`M=8`

step 2

Find the distance from the midpoint of the interval to either endpoint.

14-8=6 units

or

8-2=6 units

therefore

The distance from the midpoint of the interval to either endpoint is 6 units
