B: a reflection across the x-axis followed by a translation 4 units right.

Comparing the points to their mapped images compares A to E, B to F, C to G, and D to H. In each point, the y-coordinate switches signs and the x-coordinate is subtracted by 4.

Reflections across the x-axis will switch the sign of the y-coordinate, and reflections across the y-axis will switch the sign of the x-coordinate. Since the y-coordinates are the ones whose sign changed, the points must have been reflected across the x-axis.

Translations to the left will cause the x-coordinate to increase, and translations to the right will case the x-coordinate to decrease. Since the x-coordinate of every point was subtracted, this means that the translation must have been to the right.

Answer: The correct series of transformations is (A) a reflection across x-axis, and then a translation 4 units left.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct series of transformations that map quadrilateral ABCD onto the quadrilateral EFGH so that ABCD≅EFGH.

The co-ordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD are A(2, 4), B(4, 5), C(5, 4) and D(4, 1).

The first transformation will be reflection across the X-axis - Here, the sign before the y-co-ordinate of each vertex will get changed.

After this transformation, the co-ordinates of the vertices become A'(2, -4), B'(4, -5), C'(5, -4) and D'(4, -1). This quadrilateral A'B'C'D' is shown in the attached figure.

The second transformation will be a translation of 4 units left - Here, the x-co-ordinate of each vertex will get decreased by 4 units.

After this transformation, the co-ordinates of the vertices changes to E(-2, -4), F(0, -5), G(1, -4) and H(0, -1).

Since these are the co-ordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral EFGH, so we prove that ABCD≅EFGH.

Thus, the correct transformations is given by option (A) a reflection across x-axis, and then a translation 4 units left.

Answer:

This task would be especially well-suited for instructional purposes. Students will benefit from a class discussion about the slope, y-intercept, x-intercept, and implications of the restricted domain for interpreting more precisely what the equation is modeling.

One potential confusion students may have follows from the subtle difference between what the car is doing and the idea of slope as the ratio between the change in vertical distance on the graph and the change in horizontal distance on the graph. Because the car is traveling one mile on a down-hill slope, the situation could be represented as a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5,280 ft and a leg of 250 ft; using the Pythagorean Theorem they would find that the other leg is approximately 5,274 ft. Following through on this interpretation, a student might conclude that the car travels a horizontal distance of approximately 5,274 ft for every 250 ft in vertical distance and arrive at a slope of approximately -0.047. While this is, in some sense, the slope of the hill, it is not the slope of the function as described. This interpretation yields numbers that are very close to the situation described in the task, yet conceptually different since the distance traveled by the car would now be expressed in terms of horizontal distance traveled as opposed to distance along the slope of the hill to compute the elevation. If students do indeed pursue this line of reasoning, the task provides an opportunity to compare and contrast the graph of the function and what it represents with a drawing of the hill and the vertical and horizontal distances traversed with each mile down the slope.

Help finding the sum

Mamont248 [21]

It is asking you to find the sum of k^2 - 1 from k=1 to k=4. Since that is only 4 numbers, calculating the sum by hand wouldn’t be that bad.

(1^2 - 1) + (2^2 - 1) + (3^2 - 1) + (4^2 - 1) = 26

The easier way to find the sum is to use a few simple formulas.

When we have a term that is just a constant c, the formula is c*n.

When we have a variable k, the formula is k*n*(n+1)/2.

When we have a squared variable, the formula is k*n*(n+1)*(2n+1)/6.

In this case, we have a squared variable k^2 and a constant of -1.

So plug in n=4 to the formulas:

4*5*9/6 - 1*4 = 26

The answer is 26
