The student is not correct.
Absolute value means distance from zero
|-9| = 9
|4| = 4
Since 9 is greater than 4,
|-9| is greater than |4|
In other words, -9 is further from zero then 4
Answer:
A 50% increase followed by a 33/1/3% decrease. = ? (1 + 0.5)*(1 - 0.3333333) = 1.5 * 0.666667 = 1. Result is same as original.
The picture in the attached figure
we know that
area of the <span>the shaded region=area of rectangle -area of a kite
area of rectangle=(3x+x)*(x+x)----> 4x*2x---> 8x</span>²
area of a kite=(1/2)*[d1*d2]
where d1 and d2 are the diagonals
d1=4x
d2=2x
so
area of a kite=(1/2)*[4x*2x]----> 4x²
area of the the shaded region=8x²-4x²-----> 4x²
the answer is 4x²
I’m just trying so much better to talk now but it’s just a good 256
