Answer: 9 \frac{1}{16} books.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's turn both mixed numbers into fractions:

1\frac{3}{5}=\frac{(1*5)+3}{5}  =\frac{5+3}{5}=\frac{8}{5}  \\\\14\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(14*2)+1}{2}=\frac{28+1}{2}=\frac{29}{2}

Then, to find how many books can fit into the bookshelf, you simply divide the  space in the bookshelf by the thickness of each book:

\frac{\frac{29}{2} }{\frac{8}{5} }=\frac{5*29}{8*2} =\frac{145}{16}

If you want the answer as a mixed number:

\frac{145}{16} =9\frac{1}{16}

Answer:


Since k is constant (the same for every point), we can find k when given any point by dividing the y-coordinate by the x-coordinate.

Construct an explicit rule in function notation for the arithmetic sequence represented in the table. Then determine the value o
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

After 11 weeks, Darnell′s savings account will have a total of $8,360.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

   n:    1        2       3        4

f (n): 260   360   460   560  

Consider the data for f (n).

The series f (n) follows an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 100 and first term as 260.

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Compute the value of f (11) as follows:

f(11)=\frac{11}{2}[(2\times260)+(11-1)\times 100]

        =5.5\times[520+1000]\\\\=5.5\times 1520\\\\=8360

Thus, after 11 weeks, Darnell′s savings account will have a total of $8,360.

Concider the functions: f(x)= (2/3)x and g(x)=(2/3)x-3+2. Which statement is true regarding the vertical and horizontal translat
ioda

The function g(x) is a translation to the right of 3 units and up 2 units of f(x), so the correct option is B.

<h3>Which statement is true regarding the vertical and horizontal translations from f(x) to g(x)?</h3>

For a given function f(x), we can write a vertical translation of n units as:

g(x) = f(x) + n

  • If n < 0, the translation is downwards.
  • if n > 0, the translation is upwards.

And a horizontal translation of n units as:

g(x) = f(x + n).

  • if n > 0, the translation is to the left.
  • if n < 0, the translation is to the right.

Here we have:

f(x) = (2/3)*x

g(x) = (2/3)*(x - 3) + 2

By comparing it with the general translations, we conclude that we have a traslation of 3 units to the right and 2 units up.

So the correct option is B.
