Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given coordinates of the rectangle ABCD:</u>
- A(0, 0), B(a, 0), C(x, y), D(0, b)
Lets first find coordinates of C
We can see that A and B are on same line horizontally, so C and D will be on the parallel line
The distance AB and CD are equal also distance AD and BC are equal, therefore
- AB = a - 0 = a, CD = a
- AD = b - 0 = b, BC = b
<u>So the coordinates of C are:</u>
<u>Now the diagonals:</u>
- AC = √(a-0)² + (b-0)² = √a²+b²
- BD =√(0-a)² + (b -0)² = √a² + b²
Since AC = BD, we can state they are congruent
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
a
f(0) means find the value of y when x = 0
That is f(0) = 1 ← the point (0, 1) on the graph
b
When f(x) = - 3 means what are the values of x corresponding to y = - 3
From the graph when y = - 3 there are 2 corresponding values of x, that is
x = - 2 or x = + 2
The solution to f(x) = - 3 is x = ± 2
get a common denominator which is 24
3 7/8 = 3 21/24
6 /4 = 6 6 /24
3 21/24 - 6 6 /24
big number minus small number take sign of larger
6 6/24
- 3 21/24
-------------
5 30/24
3 21/24
--------------
2 9/24
2 3/8
the sign of the larger is negative
-2 3/8
