Keats Library purchases a number of new books, all in the category of biography; the library does not acquire any other books. With the addition of the new biographies, the biography collection of the library amounts to 37.5% of the new total number of books in the library. If prior to the purchase, only 20% of the books in Keats Library were biographies, by what percent has the number of biographies in the library increased

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{87.5 \, \%}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

            Let x = the original number of books

Then 0.375x = the total number of biographies

 and 0.20  x = the original number of biographies

[tex]\text{Percent increase} = \dfrac{\text{ New number - Old number }}{\text{Old number }} \times 100\, \%\\\\= \dfrac{0.375x - 0.20x}{0.20x} \times 100\, \% = \dfrac{0.175x}{0.20x} \times 100\, \% = 0.875 \times 100\, \% = \mathbf{87.5 \, \%}\\\\\text{The number of biographies has increased by $\large \boxed{\mathbf{87.5 \, \%}}$}[/tex]

PLZ HELP Which represents a quadratic function? f(x) = 2x3 + 2x2 – 4 f(x) = –7x2 – x + 2 f(x) = –3x + 2 f(x) = 0x2 + 3x – 3

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = -7x² - x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic functions are set up in the form ax² + bx + c. f(x) = 0x² + 3x -3 is also set up in this format but 0x² would simplify to 0 which means the equation is actually f(x) = 3x-3 and does not fit in the quadratic function format. The other equations are also not set up in ax² + bx + c.

The equation that represents a quadratic equation is

What is a polynomial?

Polynomial is an equation written as the sum of terms of the form kx^n.

where k and n are positive integers.

We have,

A polynomial with degree 2 is called a quadratic equation.

The quadratic equation is in the form of ax² + bx + c.

Now,

f(x) = 2x³ + 2x² - 4

This is not a quadratic equation since it has a degree of 3.

f(x) = -7x² - x + 2

This is a quadratic equation since its degree is 2.

It is in the form of ax² + bx + c

Where a = -7, b = -1 and c = 2

f(x) = -3x + 2

This is not a quadratic equation.

Its degree is 1.


f(x) = 0x² + 3x - 3

f(x) = 3x - 3

This is not a quadratic equation.

Thus,

The equation that represents a quadratic equation is

f(x) = -7x² - x + 2.

It is in the form of ax² + bx + c

Where a = -7, b = -1, and c = 2

Option B is the correct answer.

A Line Segment has the points (1,-2), and (3,-2). What are the new points after its dilated by a scale factor of 3/2 or 1.5

Answers

Answer:

The new points after dilation are

(3/2, -3) and (9/2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we want to give the new points of the line segment after it is dilated by a particular scale factor.

What is needed to be done here is to multiply the coordinates of the given line segment by the given scale factor.

Let’s call the positions on the line segment A and B.

Thus we have;

A = (1,-2) and B = (3,-2)

So by dilation, we multiply each of the specific data points by the scale factor and so we have;

A’ = (3/2, -3) and B’= (9/2,-3)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Circumference of the base of the cone = 24in.

Recall that circumference (in this case) is the distance round the base of the cone and from here the diameter D=12in. Radius = 6in

Surface area l = pie x radius ( slant height + radius)

“a railroad bridge spans a gorge 40 feet wide and connects two cliffs at heights of 98 and 158 feet above the bottom of the gorge. a train is crossing this gorge from the higher cliff to the lower. when the front of the train has traveled three-fourths of the bridge's length, how many feet is it above the bottom of the bottom of the gorge?”

Answers

Answer:

Height above the bottom gorge is 113 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the gorge = 40 feet

The height of the higher cliff = 158 feet

The height of the lower cliff = 98 feet

The length of the bridge = √((158-98)² + 40²) = 72.11 feet

The slope of the bridge = (158-98)/40 = 1.5

The length of 1/4 of the bridge from the lower cliff =72.11 - 3/4×72.11 = 18.03 feet

The angle of inclination of the bridge = tan⁻¹(1.5) = 56.31°

The height above the bottom at 3/4 from the higher cliff = The height above the bottom at 1/4 from the lower cliff = 98+ 18.03×sin(56.31 ) = 113 feet

Which can also be found directly from the heights of the two cliffs knowing that 3/4 from the higher cliff = 1/4 from the lower cliff giving;

Height above the bottom gorge = 98 + 1/4×(158 - 98) = 113 feet.

The function graphed models the profits, P(c), in thousands of dollars a store earns as a function of the number of clerks, c, working that day. Which statements are true based on the model?

Answers

Answer:

Options (1), (2) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Outcomes from the quadratic function given in the graph,

1). Negative y-intercept of the graph represents the loss to the store when x = 0 Or the loss when no clerk is working.

2). Peak of the parabola represents a point (vertex) with x-coordinate as number of clerks working = 4 and y-coordinate as maximum profit earned by the store = $400,000

3). x-intercept of the graph shows the number of clerks working at store when profit earned by the store is zero.

Graph reveals that the store is in loss when number of clerks is zero and 8.

Summarizing these outcomes from the graph,

So if the conductor is made thicker it will be easy for the electrons to pass through.

And if the conductor is made thinner it won't be easy for the electrons to pass through. Which makes the resistance increase as there will be collision between the electrons.

Answers

Answer:  D

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of the two equations does not exist since they are parallel.

What is Slope?

Slope of a line is the ratio of the change in y coordinates to the change in x coordinates of two points.

Equation of a line in slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is y intercept.

Given linear equation of a line in slope intercept form as,

y = 1/2 x + 1

Here slope = 1/2 and y intercept = 1

y intercept is the y value of a point where it touches the y axis.

A second linear equation is to be found by using the values in the table.

Taking two points (2, 7) and (0, 6).

Slope = (6 - 7) / (0 - 2) = (-1) / (-2) = 1/2

Since the point (0, 6) is given, 6 is the y coordinate when the line touches the Y axis.

y intercept = 6

Equation of the second line is,

y = 1/2 x + 6

Since the slopes of two lines are equal, they are parallel.

There is no solution for two parallel lines.

Hence there is no solution for the linear equations given.

Answers

Answer:

33/20

Step-by-step explanation:

1/12 - 1/15 = 5/60 - 4/60 = 1/60

d = 1/60

a_n = a_1 + d(n - 1)

a_11 = 1/15 + (1/60)(11 - 1)

a_11 = 1/15 + 1/6

a_11 = 4/60 + 10/60

a_11 = 14/60

a_11 = 7/30

a_12 = 14/60 + 1/60

a_12 = 15/60

a_12 = 1/4

s_n = n(a_1 + a_n)/2

s_11 = 11(1/15 + 7/30)/2

s_11 = 11(2/30 + 7/30)/2

s_11 = 11(9/30)/2

s_11 = 99/60

s_11 = 33/20
