First, you have to set a system of equations to determine the number of fiction and of nonfiction books.Call f the number of fiction books and n the number of nonfiction books. Then 400 = f + n. And f = n + 40 => n = f - 40 => 400 = f + f - 40 => 400 - 40 = 2f => f = 360 / 2 = 180. Now to find the probability of picking two fiction books, take into account the the Audrey will pick from 180 fiction books out of 400, and Ryan will pick from 179 fiction books out of 399, so the probability will be<span> (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20</span>

Which equations show inverse operations of each other? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. 16×1/4  =4     1/4 ÷4 =116  
qaws [65]

Answer:

6 × 1/4 = 4

4 × 1/4 = 1

4 ÷ 1/4 = 16

All three of these are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

16 × 1/4 = 4

16/4 = 4

4 = 4


1/4 ÷ 4 = 116

1/4 × 1/4 = 116

1/16 ≠ 116


4 x 1/4 = 1

4/4 = 1

1 = 1


4 ÷ 1/4 = 16

4 × 4 = 16

16 = 16

Which of the following statements would be correct to use when proving that limx→4(3x−4)=8?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

given that limit x tending to 4 of the function (3x-4) is 8

This implies for all values of x such that for epsilon >0 arbitrary small ,

||x-4||, we get

|f(x)-8|<3epsilon

this is equivalent to the option c.

Proof:

Consider

||x-4||

Hence it follows that option C is right.
