Answer:
Here we will use the relationships:
And a number:
is between 0 and 1 if a is positive and larger than 1, and n is negative.
if a is positive and 0 < a < 1, then we need to have n positive such that:
0 < a^n < 1
A)
This is between zero and 1,
B)
This is greater than 1, because the exponent is positive.
C)
Because a is smaller than 1, and the exponent is positive, then the expression is between 0 and 1.
D)
The exponent is negative (and pair) then the expression is between 0 and 1.
Remember that when the exponent is pair, we always have that:
(-N)^m = (N)^m
So (-7)^-2 = 7^-2
For this case we must follow the steps below:
step 1:
We place each of the given points on a coordinate axis
Step 2:
We join the AC points (represented by the orange line)
We join the BD points (represented by the blue line)
It is observed that the resulting figure after placing the 4 points on a coordinate axis, turns out to be a rhombus.
In addition, the blue and orange lines turn out to be perpendicular, that is, they have an angle of 90 degrees between them. This can be verified by finding the slopes of each of the two straight lines (blue and orange), which must be opposite reciprocal, that is, they comply:
In this case, the slope of the orange line is and that of the blue line is
Then , it is verified that they are perpendicular.
Thus, the conclusion is that ABCD is a rhombus and AC is perpendicular to BD.
