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

Solve In 2x + In 2=0

irakobra [83]

Solving $ln(2x)+ln(2)=0$ we get, $x=\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve: $ln(2x)+ln(2)=0$

Solving:

$ln(2x)+ln(2)=0$

Adding -ln(2) on both sides:

$ln(2x)+ln(2)-ln(2)=0-ln(2)$

$ln(2x)=-ln(2)$

Using logarithmic rule: if $log_a b =c\,\,then\,\, b=a^c$

So,

$2x=e^{-ln(2)}$

Simplifying:

$2x=(e^{ln(2)})^{-1}\\e^{ln(2)}=2\\2x=(2)^{-1}\\2x=\frac{1}{2} \\x=\frac{1}{2x2}\\x=\frac{1}{4}$

So, Solving $ln(2x)+ln(2)=0$ we get, $x=\frac{1}{4}$

A sequence starts from -2. The term to term rule is 'square and subtract 3' find the first six numbers of the sequence

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The first six numbers are $-2,1,-2,1,-2,1$

Step-by-step explanation:

First term is $-2$

The term to term rule is 'square and subtract $3$ '

Second term $=(-2)^{2} -3=1$

Third term $=(1)^{2} -3=-2$

Fourth term $=(-2)^{2} -3=1$

Fifth term $=(1)^{2} -3=-2$

Sixth term $=(-2)^{2} -3=1$

The first six numbers are $-2,1,-2,1,-2,1$

Answer: Non-Linear Function line

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is if it was a linear one then it would be a straight line and since this is not a straight line then it is a Non-Linear Function because you can't just look at it and see what the increase and decrease was for a certain time period.
