Which describes how triangle FGH could be transformed to triangle F prime G prime H prime in two steps? On a coordinate plane, t
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

  • <u><em>A dilation by a scale factor of 4 and then a reflection across the x-axis </em></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Vertices of triangle FGH:</u>

  • F: (-2,1)
  • G: (-3,3)
  • H: (0,1)

<u>2. Vertices of triangle F'G'H':</u>

  • F': (-8,-4)
  • G': (-12,-12)
  • H': (0, -4)

<u>3. Solution:</u>

Look at the coordinates of the point H and H': to transform (0,1) to (0,-4) you can muliply each coordinate by 4 and then change the y-coordinate from 4 to -4. That is<em> a dilation by a scale factor of 4 and a reflection across the x-axis.</em> This is the proof:

  • Rule for a dilation by a scale factor of 4: (x,y) → 4(x,y)

       (0,1) → 4(0,1) = (0,4)

  • Rule for a reflection across the x-axis:{ (x,y) → (x, -y)

        (0,4) → (0,-4)

Verfiy the transformations of the other vertices with the same rule:

  • Dilation by a scale factor of 4: multiply each coordinate by 4

       4(-2,1) → (-8,4)

       4(-3,3) → (-12,12)

  • Relfection across the x-axis: keep the x-coordinate and negate the y-coordinate

        (-8,4) → (-8,-4) ⇒ F'

        (-12,12) → (-12,-12) ⇒ G'

Therefore, the three points follow the rules for <em>a dilation by a scale factor of 4 and then a reflection across the x-axis.</em>

If √6 is the geometric mean between 4 and another number, then the number is
joja [24]
If you have two numbers x, y.  The geometric mean is:  √xy

For 4 and x.  Geometric Mean =  √4x  and this is equal to √6

             √4x  =  √6     Square both sides.  The square root disappears.

               4x = 6 
                 x  = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5

The other number is 1.5.

Can you explain it please and which method is correct?​
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The second one (answer of 3), but the other ones could've worked, they were just calculated wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's why each one did or didn't work:

First answer- you had the right idea by cancelling out the two in the denominator, however if you're going to divide 2, you have to divide it from everything in the equation. Meaning you would divide 4 by 2 to get 2, and then add the 1 + 2 to get final answer 3.

Second answer- since you added the numerator separately and then did the basic division, this worked.

Third one- similarly to the first one, you would have to also divide the 2 by 2 to get 1, then adding 1 + 2 to get 3.
