Philip wants to know the weight of a book to within half a gram. His weighing scales only weigh to within 10 grammes. What is the smallest number of identical copies of this book that Philip should weigh together to be able to do this?

f(x) = x2 – p(x + 1) – c, then (α + 1)(β + 1)f(x) = x2 – p(x + 1) – c, then (α + 1)(β + 1)f(x) = x2 – p(x + 1) – c, then (α + 1)(β + 1)f(x) = x2 – p(x + 1) – c, then (α + 1)(β + 1)f(x) = x2 – p(x + 1) – c, then (α + 1)(β + 1)f(x) = x2 – p(x + 1) – c, then (α + 1)(β + 1)

step-by-step explanation:

what are the statements? and what do you mean by "216 2 1 6"?

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
