The order of operations tells you exponentiation is done before multiplication or addition. That is, the value of x is squared before the sign is applied.

Your result will be negative for any non-zero value of x.

If rectangle ABCD is rotated counter clock wise 90º about the origin, what will be the coordinates of the vertex D'?
7nadin3 [17]
So, the best way to do this is translate it to clockwise. 90 degrees counterclockwise is equal to 270 degrees clockwise. So, basically, to rotate, you would follow the following format for each point-
(X,Y) -> (-Y,X)
Now, you do it for each of the points.
A= (-5,5), so A' would be (-5,-5)
B= (-1,5), so B' would be (-5,-1)
C= (-5,4), so C' would be (-4,-5)
D= (-1,4) so D' would be (-4,-1)
Notice, how all the points end up in the square below it. Each quadrant has a specific number. The top right is quadrant 1, the top left is quadrant 2, the bottom left is quadrant 3, and the bottom right is quadrant 4. If you are rotating 270 degrees clockwise, you move to the right, like a clock. That puts the new rectangle in quadrant 3. That is a way to check your work.
Now, just so you know for future reference, the following are also different formats for different problems--
A 90 degree Clockwise rotation about the origin will be (X,Y) -> (Y, -X) *Note, -x just stands for the opposite. Say your original x is a negative number. Then the prime (new) x will be positive.
A 180 degree Clockwise rotation about the origin would be (X,Y) -> (-X,-Y) *Note, -y also stands for the opposite.
A 270 degree clockwise rotation about the origin would be (X,Y) -> (-Y,X).
For translating---
90 degrees Clockwise = 270 degrees Counter
270 degrees Clockwise = 90 degrees Counter

Find the scale factor of the dilation. Then tell whether it is enlargement or reduction.​
mariarad [96]

Answer:

  a) 1/2; reduction

  b) 5/4; enlargement

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, the scale factor is CP'/CP. When it is more than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.

Even before you run the numbers, you can tell if it is an enlargement or not. If the dilated figure is larger, P is closer to C than is P'. If P' is closer to C, then it is a reduction.

a) CP'/CP = (4-2)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 . . . . a reduction

__

b) CP'/CP = 25/20 = 5/4 . . . . an enlargement

PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

None of these.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume we are trying to figure out if (x-6) is a factor. We got the quotient (x^2+6) and the remainder 13 according to the problem.  So we know (x-6) is not a factor because the remainder wasn't zero.

Let's assume we are trying to figure out if (x^2+6) is a factor.  The quotient is (x-6) and the remainder is 13 according to the problem.  So we know (x^2+6) is not a factor because the remainder wasn't zero.

In order for 13 to be a factor of P, all the terms of P must be divisible by 13.  That just means you can reduce it to a form that is not a fraction.

If we look at the first term x^3 and we divide it by 13 we get \frac{x^3}{13} we cannot reduce it so it is not a fraction so 13 is not a factor of P

None of these is the right option.
