Delaware was the first state to enter the Union and Hawaii was the 50th. If we order the positions of entry for the rest of the

states, we find that State A entered the Union right after State B, and the product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132. Use the given information to complete each statement. State A was the th state to enter the Union. State B was the th state to enter the Union.

Answer:

State A was the <u>12th</u> state to enter the Union. State B was the <u>11th</u> state to enter the Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x to the order-of-entry of State B, therefore the order-of-entry of State A is x+1. Given that he product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132:

x*(x+1) = 132

x² + x - 132 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 -4(1)(-132)}}{2(1)}

x = \frac{-1 \pm 23}{2}

x_1 = \frac{-1 + 23}{2}

x_1 = 11

x_2 = \frac{-1 - 23}{2}

x_2 = -12

The negative solution has no sense in the context of our problem, then the solution is x = 11.

PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY, DON'T JUST STEAL THE POINTS.
marin [14]
Since you're only asked the ordered pair of D'', it's much easier just to plot and reflect point D twice than to do that for all four points!

Remember that reflecting points is like putting a mirror at the line of reflection or flipping that point over at that line. The reflected point should be the same distance from the line of reflection as the original point.

1) Reflect D over the x-axis to get D'.
D is at (4,1). Draw a line that is perpendicular to the line of reflection and goes through D. D is as far from the line of reflection as D' should be on its other side (both are on that perpendicular line). Since D is 1 unit above the x-axis, that means D' is 1 unit below at (4, -1). See picture 1.

2) Reflect D' over <span>y=x+1 to get D''. 
D' is at (4, -1). Draw </span>y=x+1 and the line perpendicular to it going through D''. D'' is the same distance from the line of reflection on the other side. See picture 2. D'' is at (-2, 5).

Answer: D'' is at (-2, 5)
