-3(x-14)+9x=6x+24
-3x+42+9x=6x+24
-3x+9x-6x=-24-42
0=-18
It would be 82 2/3 since 1/3 minis 2/3 would equal -1/3 you subtract that from 83 and get 82 2/3
A coordinate grid is very handy when it comes to drawing geometric shapes such as triangles. Let's create an example triangle ABC with the locations
A = (2,3)
B = (9,5)
C = (4,-10)
Plot those points and connect the dots. That forms triangle ABC. We can translate triangle ABC to any other position we want. Let's say we want to shift it 2 units to the left. That means we subtract 2 from each x coordinate while keeping the y coordinates the same. Therefore
A' = (0, 3)
B' = (7, 5)
C' = (2,-10)
Plot triangle A'B'C' and you should see that this is a shifted copy of triangle ABC.
The rotation rules are a bit more complicated, and it depends where you place the center of rotation; however, it is possible to use coordinate math like done above.
Luckily the reflection rules over the x or y axis are fairly simple. If we reflect over the x axis, then we flip the sign of the y coordinate. Or if we wanted to reflect over the y axis, we flip the sign of the x coordinate.
Example: A' = (0,3) reflects over the x axis to get A'' = (0, -3)
The values that make the denominator zero are not in the domain.
x²- 4x - 12 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0
Answer: 6, -2
You could say that a(n) = 12 - 5n .
Then ...
a(1) = 12 - 5 = 7
a(2) = 12 - 10 = 2
a(3) = 12 - 15 = -3
and so on.
So it seems to work.
