Let m and s be the number of math and sociology books sold respectively.

m=s+88 we are also told that:

m+s=426, using m found above in this equation gives you:

s+88+s=426 combine like terms on left side

2s+88=426  subtract 88 from both sides

2s=338  divide both sides by 2

s=169, since m=s+88

m=169+88=257

So 257 math and 169 sociology textbooks were sold.

Which relationship has a zero slope? A two column table with five rows. The first column, x, has the entries, negative 3, negati
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The one in the table on the left

Note that for the given values of x all of the y values are 2

This indicates a horizontal line, parallel to the x- axis with a slope of zero.

The equation of the line is y = c where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through, in this case 2, thus

y = 2 is the equation of the line with zero slopeation

one of them is an undefined slope the other is a positive slope (Neither of them are a zero slope)

Each page of a top-secret report on aliens requires 2 \text{ KB}2 KB2, start text, space, K, B, end text of space in digital for
fredd [130]

The maximum number of pages the report can have, using scientific notation, is of:

2 x 10^6.

<h3>What is scientific notation?</h3>

A number in scientific notation is written as follows:

a \times 10^b

With the base symbolized a \in [1, 10), meaning that it can assume values from 1 to 10, with an open interval at 10 meaning that for 10 the number is written as 10 = 1 x 10¹, meaning that the base is 1.

For this problem, the maximum number of pages that the report can have is given by the following division:

Maximum number of pages = Total capacity/Size of page.

These variables, from the text, are given as follows:

  • Total capacity: 4 x 10^6 KB.
  • Size of a page: 2 KB / page.

Hence the number of pages is obtained as follows:

Maximum number of pages = 4 x 10^6 KB / (2 KB/ page) = 2 x 10^6 pages.

When two numbers are divided in scientific notation, the bases are divided(4/2 = 2), while the exponents are subtracted (6 - 0 = 6).

Lindsay is creating a bridge out of dried pasta and glue. In her plans, she sketches the graph to determine the lengths of the n
alexgriva [62]
From the graph shown it can be seen that the bridge is represented by a parabola with vertex of (5, 8) and roots of 1 and 9.

Recall that the vertex form of the equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k) is given by
y=a(x-h)^2+k

Thus, the equation of the given graph in vertex form is given by
y=a(x-5)^2+8

Also, recall that the equation of a parabola with roots, p and q, is given by
y=a(x-p)(x-q)

Thus the equation of the given graph can be given by
y=a(x-1)(x-9)

To get the value of a, we equate both equations and solve as follows:
a(x-5)^2+8=a(x-1)(x-9) \\  \\ a(x^2-10x+25)+8=a(x^2-10x+9) \\  \\ ax^2-10ax+25a+8=ax^2-10ax+9a \\  \\ 25a-9a=-8 \\  \\ 16a=-8 \\  \\ a=- \frac{8}{16} =- \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the <span>function that Lindsay used to create her design is
f(x)=-0.5(x-5)^2+8
