Answer:

75% of the original paper’s size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that the original size was 10 inches.

You then increase it by 50%. It is now 15 inches.

Now, you decrease it by 50%. 50% of 15 is 7.5. So, the paper is now 7.5 inches.

7.5 inches is 75% of the original paper size.

I hope I helped!

Mutleys journey began on a boat, 2 feet above sea level. He dove down to twelve feet below sea level and then returned to the su

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Mutley would start at 2 feet above sea level or +2, he would then travel 12 feet below sea level (-12) to then return to the surface of the ocean (0). The integers from least to greatest: -12, 0, 2. Visual:

-12(dive level) * * * * * * * * * * * 0(sea level) * 2(boat)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using positive and negative integers, we can determine Mutleys journey above, below and at the surface of the ocean. The surface of the ocean represents his 'origin' or starting point, which is 0. The boat is above the surface or +2. When Mutley dives below the surface, he is at a negative level of the ocean. Think of it in terms of a number line - negative numbers are to the left of 0 and positive numbers are to the right of 0. The further we go to the left on the number line, the lower our number. In this case, -12 would be furthest to the left, then 0, followed by 2.

Solve 0 = (x – 4)2 – 1 by graphing the related function.

fomenos

Answer:

Therefore, the solutions of the quadratic equations are:

$x=5,\:x=3$

The graph is also attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of the graph could be obtained by finding the x-intercept.

$y=\left(x-\:4\right)^2-1$

Finding the x-intercept by substituting the value y = 0

$y=\left(x-\:4\right)^2-1$

$\:0\:=\:\left(x\:-\:4\right)^2\:-\:1$ ∵ y = 0

$\left(x-4\right)^2-1=0$

$\left(x-4\right)^2-1+1=0+1$

$\left(x-4\right)^2=1$

$\mathrm{For\:}\left(g\left(x\right)\right)^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}g\left(x\right)=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x-4=\sqrt{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\sqrt{1}=1$

$x-4=1$

$x=5$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x-4=-\sqrt{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\sqrt{1}=1$

$x-4=-1$

$x=3$

So, when y = 0, then x values are 3, and 5.

Therefore, the solutions of the quadratic equations are:

$x=5,\:x=3$

The graph is also attached. As the graph is a Parabola. It is visible from the graph that the values of y = 0 at x = 5 and x = 3. As the graph is a Parabola.

Two sides of an acute triangle meaure 5 inches and 8 inches. The length of the longest side is unknown. What is the greatest pos

gladu [14]

The greatest whole possible whole number length of the unknown side is 9 inches.

<h3>How to identify if a triangle is acute?</h3>

Let us have:

H = biggest side of the triangle

And let we get A and B as rest of the two sides.

Then we get:

$A^2 + B^2 < C^2$

then the triangle is acute

Two sides of an acute triangle measure as 5 inches and 8 inches

The length of the longest side is unknown.

We have to find the length of the unknown side

WE know that the longest side of any triangle is a hypotenuse

For an acute triangle we know:

$A^2 + B^2 < C^2$

Here in this sum,

a = 5 inches

b = 8 inches

c = ?

Substituting we get,

$A^2 + B^2 < C^2\\\\5^2 + 8^2 < C^2\\\\25 + 64= C^2$

c < 9

Hence, The greatest whole possible whole number length of the unknown side is 9 inches.
