This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !
You're totally correct, as far you went. x² + 2x does = -1
Now add ' 1 ' to each side: x² + 2x + 1 = 0
Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?
Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.
x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)²
So the solutions of x² + 2x + 1 = 0 are both x = -1 .
Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.
Answer:
The coordinates of H′ are (-2,0).
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that square EFGH stretches vertically by a factor of 2.5 with respect to the x-axis to create rectangle E′F′G′H′.
If a figure stretches vertically by a factor of 2.5 with respect to the x-axis, then the x-coordinates remains same and the points which lie on the axis are also remains the same after stretch.
It is given that the coordinates of H are (-2,0). This point lie on the x-axis, therefore it will remains the same after stretch.
Therefore the coordinates of H′ are (-2,0).
