A bookshelf has 96 books. 64 of the books are fiction and the rest are non-fiction. (a) What fraction of the books are fiction? Give your answer in its simplest form. (b) What fraction of the books are non-fiction?​

Answers

Answer 1

(a) The fraction of books that are fiction is 2/3.

(b) The fraction of books that are non-fiction is 1/3.

To find the fraction of fiction and non-fiction books on a bookshelf:

Given: A bookshelf has 96 books. 64 of the books are fiction and the rest are non-fiction books. (a)Fraction of fiction books =?

(b)Fraction of non-fiction books =?

Now,

As given, we have,

The total number of books on a bookshelf = 96

Out of 96, the total number of fiction books = 64

So,

The remaining number of books = non-fiction books = 96-64 = 32

(a) Fraction of fiction books = fiction books/total books

= 64/96

On simplification,

= 2/3

(b) Fraction of non-fiction books = non-fiction books/total books

= 32/96

= 1/3

Therefore, the fraction of fiction and non-fiction books is 2/3 and 1/3 respectively.

A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right.

Which is the correct representation of the inequality?

Here we have.

-3(2x - 5) < 5*(2 - x)

First, we need to isolate x in one side, let's expand both sides:

-6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

15 - 10 < 6x - 5x

5 < x

This will be represented with a number line where we have an open circle at 5, and an arrow that goes to the right. So the correct option is:

"A number line from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 5 and a bold line starts at 5 and is pointing to the right."

Determine the measure of each indicated angle.

Answers

Answer:

∠ABC =   52°

∠BCA =  48°

∠CAB = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle sum property of triangle: Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180.

13x² + 12x² + 20x² = 180

Combine like terms,

                 45x²  = 180

                     x² = 180 ÷ 45

                     x² = 4

                     x = √4

                     x = ± 2

x = 2 ; -2

∠ABC = 13x² = 13*4 = 52°

∠BCA = 12x² = 12 *4 = 48°

∠CAB = 20x² = 20 *4 = 80°

The value of x is +2 and -2 and the angles will be given as ∠ABC = 52 ∠ACB = 48 and ∠CAB = 80.

What is trigonometry?

The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle is termed trigonometry.

Given that:-

∠ABC = 13x² ∠ACB = 12x² and ∠CAB = 20x²

The angles will be calculated as follows:-

13x² + 12x² + 20x² = 180

45x²  =  180

x²  =  4

x   =  ±2

The angles will be:-

∠ABC = 13x²  = 13 x ( 2² ) = 52

∠ACB = 12x²  = 12 ( 2² )    = 48

∠CAB = 20x²  = 20 ( 2² )  = 80

Therefore value of x is +2 and -2 the angles will be given as ∠ABC = 52 ∠ACB = 48 and ∠CAB = 80.

MARKING BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST CORRECT ANSWER If triangle BCD was reflected over the x-axis, what would be the coordinates of the new triangle's vertices?

Answers

If BCD was reflected over the x axis then the coordinates will be B(-1,0) C(-1,2) and D(-4,1).

Given BCD is a triangle having coordinates (-1,0),(-1,-2),(-4,-1).

When the triangle is reflected over the x axis then all the values of y will change from negative to positive and the values of x remains same because in the second and third quadrant the values of x remains same and in the second quadrant the values of y used to  be positive  and in the third quadrant the values of y used to be negative.

So coordinates of B will change from (-1,0) to (-1,0)

coordinates of C will change from (-1,-2) to (-1,2)

coordinates of D will change from (-4,-1) to (-4,1)

New coordinates will be (-1,0) (-1,2) (-4,1).

Hence if BCD was reflected over x axis the new coordinates will be (-1,0) (-1,2) (-4,1).

First, we need to find out the unit rate

5/25=1/5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]x\log_{10}x=1.2[/tex]

Rewrite so that it's equal to zero:

[tex]\implies x\log_{10}x-1.2=0[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\implies f(x)=x\log_{10}(x)-1.2[/tex]

Differentiate the function:

Use the product rule to differentiate [tex]x\log_{10}(x)[/tex]:

[tex]\textsf{Let }u=x \implies \dfrac{du}{dx}=1[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Let }v=\log_{10}(x) \implies \dfrac{dv}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{x \ln 10}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \dfrac{dy}{dx} & = u\dfrac{dv}{dx}+v \dfrac{du}{dx}\\& = \dfrac{x}{x \ln 10}+\log_{10}(x)\\& = \dfrac{1}{\ln 10}+\log_{10}(x)\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\implies f'(x)=\dfrac{1}{\ln 10}+\log_{10}(x)[/tex]

[tex]\implies f'(x)=\dfrac{1+\ln 10 \log_{10}(x)}{\ln 10}[/tex]

Newton-Rhapson iteration formula

[tex]x_{n+1}=x_n-\dfrac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}[/tex]

Substitute the function and its derivative into the formula, replacing x with [tex]x_n[/tex]:

[tex]\implies x_{n+1}=x_n-\dfrac{x_n\log_{10}(x_n)-1.2}{\dfrac{1+\ln 10 \log_{10}(x)}{\ln 10}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x_{n+1}=x_n-\dfrac{x_n\ln 10\log_{10}(x_n)-1.2\ln 10}{1+\ln 10 \log_{10}(x_n)}[/tex]

Therefore, the iteration formula is:

[tex]x_{n+1}=x_n-\dfrac{x_n\ln 10\log_{10}(x_n)-1.2\ln 10}{1+\ln 10 \log_{10}(x_n)}[/tex]

Let [tex]x_0=3[/tex]

Substitute this into the formula and carry out 3 iterations:

[tex]\implies x_{1}=3-\dfrac{3\ln 10\log_{10}(3)-1.2\ln 10}{1+\ln 10 \log_{10}(3)}=2.746149035[/tex]
