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

No, they forgot to switch variable labels after solving for the independent variable...

y=-8x+4

y-4=-8x

(y-4)/-8=x 

Now that you have solved for the independent variable x, you switch the variable labels...

y=(x-4)/-8

f^-1(x)=(x-4)/-8     which should really be rewritten as:

f^-1(x)=(4-x)/8  :P

Why does cube root 7 equal 7 to the 1/3 power
UNO [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how you convert:

\sqrt[n]{x^m}=x^{\frac{m}{n}  The little number outside the radical, called the index, serves as the denominator in the rational power, and the power on the x inside the radical serves as the numerator in the rational power on the x.

A couple of examples:

\sqrt[3]{x^4}=x^{\frac{4}{3}

\sqrt[5]{x^7}=x^{\frac{7}{5}

It's that simple. For your problem in particular:

\sqrt[3]{7} is the exact same thing as \sqrt[3]{7^1}=7^{\frac{1}{3}

Which expression uses the distributive property to represent the sum of 39 + 27
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The expression that uses the distributive property to represent the sum of 39 + 27 is 3(13 + 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Expression: 39 + 27

Required

Express using the distributive property

The distributive property is represented in the form a(b + c)

So, we can say that the meaning to the question is that the given expression should be represented in the form a(b+c)

Equate these two expressions, we have

a(b+c) = 39 + 27

Factorize the expression on the left hand side

a(b+c) = 3(\frac{39}{3} + \frac{27}{3})

Simplify fraction

a(b+c) = 3(13 + 9)

Compare expression on left hand side with the expression on the right hand side.

Since, they have the same format, then we've arrived at the answer.

Hence, the expression that uses the distributive property to represent the sum of 39 + 27 is 3(13 + 9)

The Pi Mu Epsilon mathematics honorary society of Outstanding Universitywishes to have a picture taken of its six officers. Ther
boyakko [2]

Answer:

720

Step-by-step explanation:

I will use the following counting principle:

Product rule: if there are n ways of doing something, and m ways of doing another thing, there are n×m ways of doing both things.

First, we have to choose the 3 people that will be in the first row. This is a 3-element subset of  the set of six people, therefore there are \binom{6}{3}=20 ways of doing this.

Now, we have to arrange the order of the 2 lrows. Each one has 3 people, so there are 3!=6 ways to form one rows. Hence, there are 3!²=36 ways of arranging the two rows.

By the product rule, there are 20×36=720 ways of arrange the officers.
