869,907 when rounded to the nearest hundredth = 869,900
Answer:
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x = 
Because
is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
One polynomial identity that crops up often in various areas is the difference of squares identity:
A2-b2=(a-b) (a+b)
We meet this in the context of rationalising denominators.
The height of the triangle is 48/b or 48 over b. That's all I can tell you with the information given.
