Answer:

Lets say we have (-1)^(1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1)^(1.5) = (-1)^(3/2)

= (√(-1))^3 which has no solution in the real number field, as √(-1) does not exist.

In the complex number field √(-1) = i, and (-1)^(1.5) = i^3 = -i.

4 cups = 18 g
Divide all by 4 to get 1 cup.
1 cup = 18/4
1 cup = 4.5g

1. Write a rule that will take the triangle to a congruent triangle. Write your rule as (x,y)

olga nikolaevna [1]

Transforming a shape involves changing the size and/or the location of the shape.

The rule that will take the triangle to a congruent triangle is $(x,y) \to (x,-y)$
The rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is similar is $(x,y) \to (0.5x,0.5y)$ .
The rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is not similar or congruent is $(x,y) \to (0.5x,2y)$ .

<h3>Rigid transformation</h3>

When a shape is transformed by a rigid transformation, then the image of the shape will be congruent to the original shape.

An example of a rigid transformation is a reflection over the x-axis; and the rule is:

$(x,y) \to (x,-y)$

So, a rule that will take the triangle to a congruent triangle is $(x,y) \to (x,-y)$

<h3>Nonrigid transformation</h3>

When a shape is transformed by a nonrigid transformation, then the image of the shape will not be congruent to the original shape, however the original shape and the transformed shape would be similar

An example of a nonrigid transformation is a dilation by a scale factor od 0.5; and the rule is:

$(x,y) \to (0.5x,0.5y)$

So, a rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is similar is $(x,y) \to (0.5x,0.5y)$

However, if the x and y coordinates of the shape are dilated by different scale factors, then the resulting shape would neither be similar nor be congruent to the original shape.

A rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is not similar or congruent is $(x,y) \to (0.5x,2y)$ .
