Answer:

(-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a point (x, y) and you do a dilation by a scale factor K centered at the origin, the new point will just be (k*x, k*y)

So, if the original point is (-8, 8)

And we do a dilation by a scale factor k = 1/4

Then the image of the point will be:

(-8*(1/4), 8*(1/4))

(-8/4, 8/4)

(-2, 2)

ANSWER

The correct answer is B

$\frac{4b}{ {a}^{2} }$

EXPLANATION

The given exponential expression is

$4 {a}^{ - 2} b$

We can rewrite this as,

$4b \times {a}^{ - 2}$

We need to simplify to obtain a positive index, so we apply the following property,

${a}^{ - m} = \frac{1}{ {a}^{m} }$

This implies that,

$4b \times {a}^{ - 2} = 4b \times \frac{1}{ {a}^{2} }$

This will finally simplify to,

$4b \times {a}^{ - 2} =\frac{4b}{ {a}^{2} }$

Therefore the correct answer is B

Multiply 3xyz ^ 2 / 6y ^ 4 by 2y / x z ^ 4

Marat540 [252]

$\dfrac{3xyz^2}{6y^4}=\dfrac{3}{6}\cdot\dfrac{xyz^2}{y^4}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{xz}{y^3}=\dfrac{xz}{2y^3}\\\\\\\dfrac{3xyz^2}{6y^4}\cdot\dfrac{2y}{xz^4}=\dfrac{xz^2}{2y^3}\cdot\dfrac{2y}{xz^4}=\dfrac{2}{2}\cdot\dfrac{xyz^2}{xy^3z^4}=1\cdot\dfrac{1}{y^2z^2}=\dfrac{1}{y^2z^2}$
