Complete the blank with either ∈ or ∉ so that the resulting statement is true. −2__{−6,−3,−5,−1}

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

−2 ∉ {−6,−3,−5,−1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Set = {−6,−3,−5,−1}

Element = -2

Required

The interpretation of the question is to state if -2 is an element of the given set or not

The first thing to do is to check through the set to count the number of occurrence of -2

Looking through Set = {−6,−3,−5,−1}, we have that the occurrence of -2 is 0

This implies that -2 is not an element of the given set and this is represented by the symbol ∉

Hence:

−2 ∉ {−6,−3,−5,−1}

A Pentagon is transformed according to the rule R0, 180°. Which is another way to state the transformation?

postnew [5]

The another way to state the transformation would be $(x,y)>(-x,-y)$

<u>Solution:</u>

Rotation about the origin at $180^\circ$ : $R_{180^\circ}A \rightarrow O = R_{180^\circ} (x, y) \rightarrow (-x,-y)$

The term R0 means that the rotation is about the origin point. Therefore, (R0,180) means that we are rotating the figure to $180^\circ$ about the origin.

So, the transformation of the general point (x,y) would be (-x,-y) when it is rotated about the origin by an angle of $180^\circ$ .

Hence according to the representation, the expression would be $(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)$ .
