-3, 1 is the answer because the spot is on the -3 and in the first low with the Y-axis and stuff .
<span>I have graphed the given coordinates of both pentagons. The reflection was across the y-axis where coordinates of Pentagon PQRST (-x,y) resulted to Pentagon P'Q'R'S'T' (x,y). The line of reflection between the pentagons was x = 0. Line of reflection is the midway between the pre-image and its reflection.</span>
Answer:
The statement is wrong. a-b can be positive but not always.
Step-by-step explanation:
There can be three possible situations that are:
- a>b
- a<b
- a=b
Now taking first condition, the result will be positive because a smaller integer is subtracted from a greater one. Such as 5-2=3
In second condition, the result will be negative because a greater integer is subtracted from smaller one. Such as 2-5= -3
In the third condition, the result will always be zero because both the integers will cancel each other. Such as 5-5=0
To find the number of zeros in the quadratic equation we factorize it as follows:
f(x)=x²+6x+18
solving using completing square methods we obtain:
x^2+6x=-18
c=(b/2a)^2=9
thus
x²+6x+9=-18+8
x²+6x+9=-9
(x+3)²=-9
hence
x=-3+/-3i
the roots are:
x=-3+3i or x=-3-3i
