Answer:

Decreased by 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 x ? = 0.4

? = 0.4/0.5

? = 0.8

1 - 0.8 = 0.2

0.2 = 20%

To check, 20% of 0.5 is 0.1. 0.5 - 0.1 is 0.4. So the answer is correct.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle if one side is 16in and one is 7in?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

hypotenuse = 17.46

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2.

Since we are finding the hypotenuse, we must plug in 16 and 7 since they represent the lengths of both side.

16^2+7^2=c^2

256+49=c^2

305=c^2

which means we have to find the square root of c^2 AND 305, round it to the nearest hundredth, which means that;

c=17.46

If vector v has an initial point at P1 and a terminal point at P2, write v as multiples of the basis vectors That is, write v in
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

v=9i+3j

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vector, v has initial point at P1 = (−5, −2) and terminal point at P2 = (4, 1).

The vector v is found by subtraction the initial point from the terminal point.

v=<4,1>-<-5,-2>

v=<4--5,1--2>

v=<9,3>

We write v as multiples of the basis vectors to obtain:

v=9i+3j
