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 (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20

Answer:

The first option

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a rational function should be all real numbers except for when the denominator is equal to 0. To find when the denominator is equal to 0 you simply need to find the zeroes of the denominator... but in this case you can do that through factoring and using the quadratic equation.

So first step is going to be to factor out the GCF, which in this case is x. This gives you the equation. $x(2x^2-x-15)$ . So one of the zeroes is when x=0. Now to find the other two zeroes you can use the quadratic equation which is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\$ . So to find the other zeroes you simply plug the values in. a=2, b=-1, c=-15

$x=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(2)(-15)}}{2(2)}\\\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{1-4(2)(-15)}}{4}\\\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{121)}}{4}\\\\x=\frac{1\pm11}{4}\\\\x=\frac{12}{4}\\x=3\\\\x=\frac{-10}{4}\\x=-\frac{5}{2}$

What value of n will make 35 - n = 25 TRUE ? A.) 5 B.) 9 C.) 10 D.)15

photoshop1234 [79]

C. 10. you can calculate this by adding n to both sides to get 35=25+n and then subtracting 25 from each side to get n=10.
