Question:

Consider a triangle ABC with vertices A(1, 2), B(4, 3), and C(3, 5). Perform the following transformations in sequence: 1) Reflect the triangle over the x-axis. 2) Rotate the reflected triangle 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin. 3) Translate the resulting triangle 3 units right and 2 units down. Draw the final transformed triangle and specify the sequence of transformations that map triangle ABC onto the final triangle.

✅ Answer:

After performing the listed transformations on triangle ABC, the final vertices of the transformed triangle are A'(-5, -1), B'(-6, -4), and C'(-8, -3). The sequence of transformations is: 1) Reflect over the x-axis, 2) Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, 3) Translate 3 units right and 2 units down.

💡 Explanation:

To find the final position of triangle ABC after the transformations: \n1) Reflecting over the x-axis changes the vertices to A(1, -2), B(4, -3), C(3, -5).\n2) Rotating 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin changes the vertices to A'(2, 1), B'(3, 4), C'(5, 3).\n3) Translating 3 units right and 2 units down results in A'(-5, -1), B'(-6, -4), C'(-8, -3).\nThis sequence effectively maps the original triangle ABC to the final transformed triangle.

Question:

Select all the expressions below that correctly represent the division of two rational numbers and simplify to a rational number.

Answer Choices:

A)
$A. $ \frac{2}{3} \div \frac{4}{5} = \frac{5}{6}$ $
B)
$B. $ -\frac{7}{8} \div \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{7}{4}$ $
C) C. $ 3.6 \div 1.2 = 3 $
D) D. $ -6 \div (-2) = -3 $
E)
$E. $ \frac{5}{9} \div \frac{3}{2} = \frac{10}{27}$ $

✅ Answer:

A, B, C, E

💡 Explanation:

To divide rational numbers, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.
- For choice A, $\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{4}{5}$ simplifies to $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{10}{12} = \frac{5}{6}$ .
- For choice B, $-\frac{7}{8} \div \frac{1}{2}$ simplifies to $-\frac{7}{8} \times 2 = -\frac{14}{8} = -\frac{7}{4}$ .
- For choice C, dividing 3.6 by 1.2 gives 3.
- Choice D is incorrect because dividing two negative numbers should give a positive result, so $-6 \div (-2) = 3$ .
- For choice E, $\frac{5}{9} \div \frac{3}{2}$ simplifies to $\frac{5}{9} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{10}{27}$ .
