Let N be the numerator, D be the denominator 
\frac{N}{D}

if its numerator is decreased by 50%
N - \frac{50}{100}N ==> (this will be the numerator part)

if its denominator is decreased by 25%
D - \frac{25}{100}D ==> (this will be the denominator part)

I try to separate them out, so it's easier to see the problem.

N - \frac{50}{100}N = \frac{100N}{100} - \frac{50N}{100} = \frac{50N}{100}

D - \frac{25}{100}D = \frac{100D}{100} - \frac{25D}{100} = \frac{75D}{100}

\frac{\frac{50N}{100}}{\frac{75D}{100}} = \frac{50N}{100} * \frac{100}{75D}

\frac{50N}{75D} =  \frac{2}{3}(\frac{N}{D}) by this, you can understand that 
\frac{2}{3}(\frac{N}{D}) as 66.6% of N/D because 2/3 is 0.666666.... The answer should be 66.7% if you round them up.

Answer: a) -13/16

Step-by-step explanation: Start by setting equations equal and rearrange X^3 - x^2 + 1 = 0. Visual inspection of graph shows x between -1 and -1/2. Start with x = 3/4 plug in and calculate: just a little too small. Try going halfway towards -1: x =-7/8 Plug in and the answer is very far from 0. Go halfway back towards -3/4: -13/16 and the equality is very close.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

17.4 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a triangle:

1/2 x b x h, where b is the base and h is the height.

1) Substitute the given values into the formula and solve it.

= 1/2 x 6 x 5.8

= 1/2 x 34.8

= 17.4

Find a polynomial f(x) of degree 4 that has the following zeros. 7, −3, 0, −2
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

x^4 - 2x^3 - 29x^2 - 42x

Step-by-step explanation:

Equal all the zeros to x then move them over.

x=7,x=-3,x=0,x=-2

x-7,x+3,x+0,x+2

Then multiply each factor

(x-7)(x+3)(x)(x+2)

x^4 - 2x^3 - 29x^2 - 42x

The congruence theorem that can be used to prove ALON
Arisa [49]

Answer:

SSS is the congruence theorem that can be used to prove Δ LON  is congruent to Δ LMN ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the cases of congruence

  • SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ
  • SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and including angle in the 2nd Δ
  • ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ
  • AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and one side in the 2nd Δ
  • HL ⇒ hypotenuse leg of the 1st right Δ ≅ hypotenuse leg of the 2nd right Δ  

In triangles LON and LMN

∵ LO ≅ LM ⇒ given

∵ NO ≅ NM ⇒ given

∵ LN is a common side in the two triangles

- That means the 3 sides of Δ LON are congruent to the 3 sides

   of Δ LMN

∴ Δ LON ≅ LMN ⇒ by using SSS theorem of congruence

SSS is the congruence theorem that can be used to prove Δ LON  is congruent to Δ LMN
