The assertion is true because in the Cartesian coordinate system, a point in the third quadrant has negative x and y coordinates. However, the reasoning given that the x-coordinate of a point in the second quadrant is always negative is unrelated to why the third quadrant's abscissa is negative, making the overall reasoning false .
A point is invariant under reflection in two lines if its image is the same as the original across both lines. For point Z reflected in x-3=0 and y+20=0, we check the orthogonal reflections. Z = (3, -20), as this satisfies both reflection conditions, meaning it maps onto itself as per the lines .
The roots of the quadratic equation 2x² - 2√2x + 1 = 0 are real and equal. This inference is derived from the fact that the discriminant of the equation is zero (b² - 4ac = 0), indicating equal roots .
The image of the point (-6, 0) when reflected across the line x = -3 is (-3, 0). Reflection in the line x = -3 means each x-coordinate of the point is mirrored across -3, effectively changing the x-distance from the line. Therefore, the x-coordinate changes from -6 to -3 because it is equidistant from the line x = -3 .
Given one root of 6x² - x - k = 0 is 2/3, use Vieta's formulas to find k. Vieta's states that the sum of the roots is -b/a and the product is c/a. Solving 6(2/3)² - (2/3) - k = 0 will result in the value k = 8/3 .
To have two equal roots, the discriminant b² - 4ac must be zero. Setting up the equation k² - 4(2)(3) = 0 simplifies to k² = 24, giving k = ±2√6 as possible values, ensuring the equation has equal roots .
To solve the inequality -2 ≤ 1/2 - (2x/3), isolate x by performing algebraic manipulations. This results in x ≤ 15/4, thus the largest value of x is 15/4 .
First, reflect points A, B, and C in y=0 (x-axis) and label resulting points A', B', and C'. Reflect these further through the origin. Analyze coordinate transformations to deduce that the double reflection aligns into A'', B'', C''. Analyze changes to verify the figure, likely retaining geometric concepts like line symmetry, ultimately defining the transformed shape based on geometric properties .
A point is invariant under reflection if its image remains unchanged post-reflection. When reflecting across the x-axis, only the y-coordinate changes sign. Therefore, any point lying on the x-axis (such as (0, 0)) is invariant because it mirrors onto itself .
Solving 4x² - 5x - 3 = 0 involves using the quadratic formula x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/(2a). Substituting the given coefficients results in x = [5 ± √(25 + 48)]/8 = [5 ± √73]/8, yielding solutions x ≈ 1.61 and x ≈ -0.46 when rounded to two decimal places .
