Answer:

P' ( - 3 , - 8 )    Q' ( - 6 , 4 )      R' ( 1 , - 1 )  

Step-by-step explanation:

- The reflection of any point ( x , y ) in a cartesian coordinate system can be determined by the units of y. The number of units of y above or below the x-axis must be determined.

- If the point ( x , y ) lies y units above the x-axis then its reflection in X-axis is y units below the x-axis while the x-coordinate remains the same. Similarly, If the point ( x , y ) lies y units below the x-axis then its reflection in X-axis is y units above the x-axis while the x-coordinate remains the same.  

- We have the following vertices of the triangle:

                       P ( -3 , 8 )      Q ( -6 , -4 )       R ( 1 , 1 )

We see that point P lies y = 8 units then its reflection in X-axis is 8 units below the x-axis i.e y = -8 while x remains the same at x = -3. So the reflected point P' is:

                                            P' ( - 3 , - 8 )

We see that point Q lies 4 units below x-axis y = -4 then its reflection in X-axis is 4 units above the x-axis i.e y = +4 while x remains the same at x = -6. So the reflected point Q' is:

                                            Q' ( - 6 , 4 )

We see that point R lies y = 1 units then its reflection in X-axis is 1 units below the x-axis i.e y = -1 while x remains the same at x = 1. So the reflected point R' is:

                                            R' ( 1 , - 1 )

- The the vertices of the reflected image are:

                      P' ( - 3 , - 8 )    Q' ( - 6 , 4 )      R' ( 1 , - 1 )

Solve the following equation for x.<br> 12x - 8 = 40<br><br> A. 4<br> B. 5<br> C. 6<br> D. 3
Anon25 [30]

Add 8 to both sides

12x = 40 + 8

Simplify 40 + 8 to 48

12x = 48

Divide both sides by 12

x = 48/12

Simplify 48/12 to 4

<em>x = 4</em>

<u>Answer: A. 4</u>

!!!! could anyone help on these two problems? find the value of each trigonometric ratio
Setler [38]

Answers:

  • sin(C) = 24/25
  • cos(Z) = 5/13

=============================================

Explanation:

The formulas we use are

  • sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
  • cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

The fraction 15/39 reduces to 5/13 after dividing both parts by the GCF 3.
