Sorry I am late but the I think it is this, I don’t know the answer but here is what I know. answer is: Imagine a rectangle that has one vertex at the origin and the opposite vertex is A. Now that you can see the image of A(3,4) under the rotation is A’(-4,3). It is easier to rotate the points that lie on the axes, and these help us find the image of A.
POINT: (3,0) (0,4) (3,4)
IMAGE (3,0) (-4,0) (-4,3)
In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:
y - 4x = 9
-x + 4 = y
Add x to both sides of the second equation:
y + x = 4
y - 4x = 9
This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:
5x = -5
x = -1
Use x to solve for y:
y + (-1) = 4
y = 5
So, x = -1 and y = 5.
The factoring can be done similarly to a quadratic equation thanks to x^4 being the square value of x^2.
<span>x^4 + 6x^2 - 7
x^4</span><span> - x^2</span> + 7x^2 - 7
(x^4 - x^2) + (<span>7x^2 - 7)
</span>x^2(x^2 - 1) + 7(<span>x^2 - 1)
</span>(x^2 + 7)(x^2 - 1)
<span>(x^2 + 7)(x - 1)(x + 1)
</span>
Factored completely we get: <span>(x^2 + 7)(x - 1)(x + 1)</span>
I think the answer would be D, but I’m not sure.
