The answer is C. -<span>3 3/4, -2 1/4, 1 1/8
It is because the highest number in the negatives, -3 3/4, is always the lowest. Obviously if there is no negative sign it is positive. 1 1/8 is the only positive so it is the greatest. And -2 1/4 is lower that -3 3/4. So it is higher than -3 3/4 but lower than 1 1/8.

Answer:
Either of ...
- (x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)
- Rotation 180° about the origin
Step-by-step explanation:
There are at least two ways to express the transformation that maps each coordinate to its opposite.
1. reflection across the origin: (x, y) ⇒ (-x,-y)
2. rotation 180° (either direction) about the origin.
Take your pick.
Answer:
a) 1/2
b) 250
Step-by-step explanation:
The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for 
such that 
is maximized. Once we have that , we can easily find the answer to part b.
Finding the value that maximizes is the same as finding the value that maximizes 
, just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize . To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.
.
Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of such that the inner part of the square term is equal to 
.
.
So, the answer to part a is 
.
We can then plug 
into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.
.
So, the answer to part b is 
.
And we're done!
The correct answer is x=-2
