165.1162791...%
To find this answer, I divided 42,600 by 25,800 and got 1.651162791... I then multiplied it by 100 to convert it into a percent and got 165.1162791...%

The "..." after the number means that the numbers continue to go on but are essentially unnecessary.

In conclusion, when you multiply 1.651162791... you get 42,600.

Answer:

$\% Change = \frac{|42600 -25800|}{25800} x100 =65.116 \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent of change respect a reference value is given by the following formula:

$\% Change = \frac{|Final -Initial|}{Initial} x100$

On this case the initial value is 25800 and the final value 42600. So we can replace into the formula and we got:

$\% Change = \frac{|42600 -25800|}{25800} x100 =65.116 \%$

So then the increase respect the initial value is 65.116%, and makes sense since:

$1.65116 *25800 =42600$

Pythagorean triples are given by the formulas x2 - y2, 2xy, and x2 + y2. Use the formulas for the Pythagorean triples to prove w

Arte-miy333 [17]

Let $k$ be an integer. Suppose there is a triangle with legs of length 16 and $2k+1$ . Then by the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse should be

$\sqrt{16^2+(2k+1)^2}=\sqrt{4k^2+4k+257}$

The formulas for Pythagorean triples say that if the legs are integers, then so must be the hypotenuse, because if $x=16$ and $y=2k+1$ are integers, then so are $x^2-y^2$ , $2xy$ , and $x^2+y^2$ .

However, $4k^2+4k+257$ is not a perfect square trinomial, which means for any integer $k$ , the length of the hypotenuse is not an integer, so such a triangle doesn't exist.
