Answer:

Factor x²−6x−27 using the AC method.

(x−9)(x+3)=0

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0 , the entire expression will be equal to 0.

x−9=0

x+3=0

Set x−9

equal to 0 and solve for x.

x=9

Set x+3 equal to 0 and solve for x.

x=−3

The final solution is all the values that make (x−9)(x+3)=0 true.

x=9,−3

Square T was translated by the rule (x + 2, y + 2) and then dilated from the origin by a scale factor of 3 to create square T″.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to know the following:

Dilation:

Transformation in which the image has the same shape as the pre-image, but the size changes.

Dilation preserves betweenness of points.

Angle measures do not change.

Translation:

Transformation in which the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image.

Translation preserves betweenness of points.

Angle measures do not change.

Therefore, since the Square T was translated and then dilated to create Square T'', we can conclude that the statement that explains why they are similar is:

Translations and dilations preserve betweenness of points; therefore, the corresponding sides of squares T and T″ are proportional.
