A.) Describe a transformation sequence that will transform quadrilateral ABCD into quadrilateral A’B’C’D’.
1 answer:
a.) The orientation of ABCD is clockwise, as is the orientation of A'B'C'D'. This means the transformation involves a even number of reflections (may be 0). The orientation of AB is North, and the orientation of A'B' is West, so a rotation of 90° CCW (or equivalent) is involved. We can find the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of AA' and BB' (at (-1, -1)) to determine a suitable center of rotation.
ABCD can be transformed to A'B'C'D' by ...
- rotation 90° CCW about the point (-1, -1)
b.) Rotation by 90° can also be accomplished by reflection across a diagonal line. Since we want the orientation to remain unchanged, we need another reflection to put the figure into its final position. A suitable alternate sequence for mapping ABCD to A'B'C'D' is ...
- reflection across the line y=x
- reflection across the line x=-1

Answer: 3/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the derivative of to get
. Set that equal to 0 to find the critical points of the function. The critical points is when the slope is either 0 or undefined.
Now do:
There are quite a few more steps to actually find the minimum, but for this example you can automatically assume its a minimum because it is the only critical point of the function. Ill show you these extra steps tho.
Plug in two numbers into the derivative. One that is less than 3/10 and one that is greater than 3/10. The numbers 0 and 1 are fine. When x = 0, the function is -6. When x = 1, the function is +14. A switch from negative to positive indicates a minimum value
