What are the coordinates of point Q?
1 answer:
Answer:
Q (-4, -2); 2 units; Q' will be above the x-axis; 2 unites; no; yes, the y coordinates are multiplied by -1; Q' (-4, 2); R' (-2, 2), S' (1, 5), T' (-2, 5);
Step-by-step explanation:
even after a reflection over the x-axis, each points distance from the x-axis will stay the same
the x-coordinates don't change because the distance from the y-axis stays the same
the picture below shows points of Q'R'S'T', just connect the vertices

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Find the measurements (the lenght L and the width W) of an inscribed rectangle under the line y = -x + 3 with the 1st quadrant of the x & y coordinate system such that the area is maximum. Also, find that maximum area. To get full credit, you must draw the picture of the problem and label the length and the width in terms of x and y.
Answer: L = 1; W = 9/4; A = 2.25;
Step-by-step explanation: The rectangle is under a straight line. Area of a rectangle is given by A = L*W. To determine the maximum area:
A = x.y
A = x(-)
A = -
To maximize, we have to differentiate the equation:
=
(-
)
= -3x + 3
The critical point is:
= 0
-3x + 3 = 0
x = 1
Substituing:
y = -x + 3
y = -.1 + 3
y = 9/4
So, the measurements are x = L = 1 and y = W = 9/4
The maximum area is:
A = 1 . 9/4
A = 9/4
A = 2.25
