<h3>
Answer: D) y+3</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
Point A is located at (3,1). Point A' is located at (-5,4)
To move from A to A', we'll do two things:
- Move 8 units to the left
- Move 3 units up
The "8 units to the left" portion has us go from x to x-8
The "3 units up" part involves y becoming y+3
So that's how we get the translation rule
. The x-8 portion is already filled in for us. The missing part is y+3 which is the final answer (choice D).
Let's try this translation rule on point B to see if we arrive at the proper location of B'
B is at (2,6) which means

which matches up what the diagram shows. I'll let you verify that the rule also works for point C.
Answer:
3(a - b)(a + b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factorize: (2a - b)² - (a - 2b)²
- Different of Perfect a Square rule: a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
(2a - b)² - (a - 2b)² = [(2a - b) + (a - 2b)] × [(2a - b) - (a - 2b)]
1. Distribute and Simplify:
Distribute the (+) sign on the first bracket and simplify: [(2a - b) + (a - 2b)] → 2a - b + a - 2b → (3a - 3b)
Distribute the (-) sign on the first bracket and simplify: [(2a - b) - (a - 2b)] → 2a - b – a + 2b → (a + b)
We now have:
(3a - 3b)(a + b)
2. Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (3) from 3a - 3b:
(3a - 3b) → 3(a - b)
3. Add "(a + b)" back into your factored expression:
3(a - b)(a + b)
Hope this helps!
Then it is likely that the amount of mice will decrease and either keep going down because the organism is eating them off too quickly or stay at a medium rate
