The number of books the library holds before it received the grant is 17,312 books

Let the original number of books in the library be x

If the State Library received a three-year grant to add 69,678 books to their collection, the total number of books will be x + 69,678

If during a used book sale, the library sold 430 books, the remaining books will be (x+69,678) - 430 = x + 69,248

If the collection now is five times more than the original number of books, then;

x + 69,248 = 5x

5x - x = 69,248

4x = 69,248

x = 69,248 /4

x = 17,312

Hence the number of books the library holds before it received the grant is 17,312 books

Does the function f(x) = 2x^2− 6x + 9 have a minimum or a maximum? Identify its value.

exis [7]

Answer:

minimum value of function is $\frac{45}{8}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function represents a parabola.

Now, here coefficient of $x^{2}$ is positive , so the parabola will be facing upwards and thus the function will be having a minimum.

Now, as we know that minimum value of a parabolic function occurs at

x = $\frac{-b}{4a}$ .

Where , b represents the coefficient of x and a represents the coefficient of $x^{2}$ .

here, a = 2 , b = -6

Thus $\frac{-b}{4a}$ = $\frac{6}{8}$

= $\frac{3}{4}$

So, at x = $\frac{3}{4}$ minimum value will occur and which equals

y = 2× $\frac{9}{16}$ - $\frac{18}{4}$ + 9 = $\frac{45}{8}$ .

Thus , minimum value of function is $\frac{45}{8}$ .

Hi help me please, I can't seem to figure this one out

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

x= 2.73cm

1cm : 0.6828 = 4cm : 2.73cm

For the same angle we just work out 1cm first.

a^2+ b^2= c^2

0.82^2 + b^2 = 1^2 = changing to units 10

6.724 + b^2 = 10

10-6.724 = 2.276

Then x 3 and change units down by 10= 0.6828

Step-by-step explanation:

Below shows why we must convert to mm from cm

a^2+ b^2= c^2

0.82^2 + b^2 = 1^2 =

0.6724 + b^2 = 1

1 - 0.6724 = b = 0.2276

0.2276 x 3 = 0.6828 cm
