Answer:

1700 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • % of non-fiction books in the library as 28%
  • Number of fiction books in the library as 1,224 books

We are required to determine the total number of books.

First we determine the percentage of non-fiction books

We need to know that;

% of fiction books + % of non-fiction books = 100%

Therefore;

% of non-fiction books = 100 % - 28 %

                                    = 72%

Second we determine the total number of books

We know that;

Total number of books = 100%

But;

72% = 1,224 books

Therefore;

Total number of books = (1,224 × 100%) ÷ 72%

                                      = 1700 books

Hence, the library has a total number of 1700 books

27. (-2 + √-8) + (5 - √-50) standard form ?​
marin [14]

We can break this down by removing the parenthesis first:

-2 + \sqrt{-8} + 5 - \sqrt{-50}

In order to continue, you have to simplify the square roots by factoring it and taking out i:

-2 + 2i\sqrt{2} + 5 - 5i\sqrt{2}

Combine like terms:

-3 - 3i\sqrt{2} <-- that's the answer

Hope I helped :)

A ball is thrown from an initial height of 2 meters with an initial upward velocity of 15/ms . The ball's height h (in meters) a
Irina-Kira [14]
The height that a ball reaches at a certain time t is given by the equation,
           h = 2 - 15t + 5t²
We are asked to compute for the values of t that would allow the ball to reach a height of 7 meters. 

Substitute the 7 to the equation,
         7 = 2 - 15t + 5t²
Transposing,
               5t² - 15t - 7 + 2 = 0
Simplifying,
               5t² - 15t - 5 = 0
Divide the equation by 5,
               t² - 3t - 1 = 0

The values of t can be calculated through the quadratic formula,
             t = (-b +/- sqrt(b² - 4ac))/2a

Substituting, 
             t = (3 +/-sqrt (9 - 4(-1)) / 2(1)
              t = 3.3 or t = -0.30

Since, we cannot have t as a negative number hence, our final answer is:
      <em> t = 3.3 s</em>
