Answer:

32 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of hardcover books = 1 1/2 inches

Width of paperback books = 3/4 inches

Number of hardcover books already on shelf = 8

Total width of shelf = 3 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, total shelf width in inches = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Total width of hardcover books = (8 * 1 1/2) = 12 inches

Total shelf width left = (36 - 12) inches = 24 inches

Maximum number of paperback books :

Total shelf width left / paperback width

24 inches / (3/4)inches = 32 paperback books

The solution for x2 + 2x + 8 ≤ 0 is
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " for exponentiation:  x^2 + 2x + 8 ≤ 0.

Let's solve this by completing the square:

x^2 + 2x + 8 ≤ 0  =>  x^2 + 2x + 1^2 - 1^2 + 8 ≤ 0.  Continuing this rewrite:

                                    (x + 1)^2 + 7 ≤ 0

Taking the sqrt of both sides:   (x + 1)^2 = i*sqrt(7)

Then the solutions are x = -1 + i√7 and x = -1 - i√7

There's something really wrong here.  I've graphed your function, x^2 + 2x + 8, and can see from the graph that there are no real roots, but only complex roots.  Please double-check to ensure that you've copied down this problem correctly.

(2ab-7a-4) - (7ab-4)<br> Hi plz help
choli [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

(2ab-7a-4) - (7ab-4)

= 2ab - 7a - 4 - 7ab +4

(-) × (-) = (+)

(-) × (-) = (+)-(-4)= +4

then 4 will be cancelled

= 2ab - 7ab - 7a

= -5ab -7a

Simplify. rewrite the expression in the form b^nb ​n ​​ b, start superscript, n, end superscript. b^{-6}\cdot b^{11}
bixtya [17]
This is the concept of indices. To re-write the question as instructed we proceed as follows:
b^-6×b^11
according to the rules of indices, when we multiply the number which have the same base, we add their powers. In our case this will be:
b^-6×b^11
adding their powers we get:
b^(-6+11)
=b^5
the answer will therefore be b^5
