It's a factor. This concept is widely used throughout algebra, and you'll probably bump into it through the end of high school and beyond.
A common use is expressing a term in <em>prime factorization</em>, or reducing a number to its most base parts- primes. For example:
![20 = 4 * 5 = 2 * 2 * 5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=20%20%3D%204%20%2A%205%20%3D%202%20%2A%202%20%2A%205)
Of course, a number like 13 which is already prime is made up of itself and 1. <em>Factors do not have to be primes.</em> 20 is also reducible through combinations of 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20. Prime factorization is just a handy example.
Basically, factors multiply with each other to create other numbers, and numbers can be reduced down to their factors.
Your scaling in the x direction is OK, but you didn't scale in the y direction properly. Hint. Scale each vertex of the original rectangle independently to construct the scaled rectangle.
I see the original points and their scaling by 2 as
(2,2) - Scales to (2*2, 2*2) = (4,4) OK in your drawing.
(-2,2) - Scales to (-2*2, 2*2) = (-4,4) OK in your drawing.
(2,5) - Scales to (2*2, 5*2) = (4,10) Error in your drawing.
(-2,5) - Scales to (-2*2, 5*2) = (-4,10) Error in your drawing.
Answer:
there should not be negative number in rational number
Answer:
c. 216 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
6*6=36
Root 6 times root 6=6
36 times 6 is 216
