The correct answer for this question is this one: "<span>147"</span>

Here's how to solve this problem.

Let  <span>x = number of mystery books on the shelf </span>
<span>Let 3x = total number of books on the shelf </span>

<span>we are told that </span>
<span>x/5<10<x/4 </span>
<span>multiply by 20, </span>
<span>4x<200<5x </span>
<span>which means that </span>
<span>40<x<50 </span>
<span>So the number of mystery books can be any number between 41 and 49.
In other words, the possible total number of books could be three times the above numbers, 123, 126, 129,.... </span>
Choose the one that suits your answer choices.

Here are the following choices:
Which could be the number of books on the shelf? 
A. 120 B 140 c 147 D 150

A particle moves along the x-axis with velocity v(t) = t2 - 1, with t measured in seconds and v(t) measured in feet per second.
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

0.667 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the total distance travelled, we would integrate the velocity v(t) equation with respect to time t.

Given that the particle moves from t = 0 to t = 2 seconds

Integrating v(t) = t2 - 1

we get

= t^3/3 - t

substituting the boundaries from t = 0 to t = 2 seconds, we get

= 2^3/3 - 2 - (0^3/3 - 0)

= 8/3 - 2 - 0

= 0.667 feet

Solve the equation by completing the square round to the nearest hundredth is necessary x^2-x-7=0
masha68 [24]

The answers are 3.19 or -2.19.

In order to complete the square, you must first get the constant to the other side of the equation. WE do that by adding 7 to both sides.

x^2 - x - 7 = 0

x^2 - x = 7

Now we must take half of the x coefficient (-1), which would be -.5. Then we square it and add it to both sides. This is the second step to any completing the square problem.

x^2 - x = 7

x^2 - x + .25 = 7.25

Now that we have done that, the left side will be a perfect square so that, we can factor it.

x^2 - x + .25 = 7.25

(x - .5)^2 = 7.25

After having done that, we can take the square root of both sides

(x - .5)^2 = 7.25

x - .5 = +/-\sqrt{7.25}

Now we can take the value of that square root and solve.

x - .5 = +/-\sqrt{7.25}

x - .5 = +/-2.69

x = .5 +/- 2.69

And with the + and - both there, we need to do both to get the two answers.

.5 + 2.69 = 3.19

.5 - 2.69 = -2.19
