Answer:

The given algebraic representation (x,y) → (-x, y) represents the reflection of a point (x, y) across the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when a point P(x, y) is reflected across the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes/reverses its sign, but the y-coordinate stays the same.

Thus, the rule of reflection of a point P(x, y) across y-xis is:

P(x, y) → P'(-x, y)

For example, if a point A(1, 2) is reflected across the y-axis, the coordinates of the image A' of the point A(1, 2) will be:

A(1, 2)  → A'(-1, y)

In our case, we are given the  algebraic representation

(x,y) → (-x, y)

Here:

  • The x-coordinate changes/reverses its sign
  • The y-coordinate stays the same.

Thus, the given algebraic representation (x,y) → (-x, y) represents the reflection of a point (x, y) across the y-axis.

taurus [48]

Answer:

A = (2p + 9) (2p - 9)

B = (x - 9) (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

For A : Rewrite 4p^2 as (2p)^2.

(2p)^2−81

Rewrite 81 as 9^2.

(2p)^2−9^2

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, a^2 − b^2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b ) where a = 2p and b = 9 .

(2p + 9) (2p − 9)

For B : Consider the form x^2 + bx + c . Find a pair of integers whose product is c and whose sum is b . In this case, whose product is 36 and whose sum is − 13 .

-9, -4

(x - 9) (x - 4)

I hope this helps.
