Math Problem Statement

answer

The graph shows rhombus TUVW. TUVW is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to produce T'U'V'W'. Then, T'U'V'W' is reflected across the y-axis to produce T''U''V''W''. Select all of the statements that are true.

Solution

I can analyze the image you uploaded and help you solve the problem. Let me first describe and solve it based on the visible content.

Problem Recap:

The graph displays a rhombus TUVWTUVW.

  1. TUVWTUVW is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to produce TUVWT'U'V'W'.
  2. Then TUVWT'U'V'W' is reflected across the y-axis to produce TUVWT''U''V''W''.

Your task is to verify which statements about the transformations are true.

Steps:

1. Understanding 90° clockwise rotation:

  • For a point (x,y)(x, y):
    • After a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin, the coordinates become (y,x)(y, -x).

2. Reflecting across the y-axis:

  • For a point (x,y)(x, y):
    • After reflecting across the y-axis, the coordinates become (x,y)(-x, y).

3. Verifying statements:

Now, I'll analyze the true/false nature of each statement. I'll compute some coordinates after each transformation:

  1. Vertices of TUVWTUVW:

    • T(3,5)T(-3, 5)
    • U(5,9)U(-5, 9)
    • V(3,9)V(3, 9)
    • W(5,5)W(5, 5)
  2. Vertices of TUVWT'U'V'W' after 90° clockwise rotation:

    • T=(5,3)T' = (5, 3)
    • U=(9,5)U' = (9, 5)
    • V=(9,3)V' = (9, -3)
    • W=(5,5)W' = (5, -5)
  3. Vertices of TUVWT''U''V''W'' after reflection across the y-axis:

    • T=(5,3)T'' = (-5, 3)
    • U=(9,5)U'' = (-9, 5)
    • V=(9,3)V'' = (-9, -3)
    • W=(5,5)W'' = (-5, -5)

Analyzing the Statements:

  1. The x- and y-coordinates of WW'' have different signs:

    • W(5,5)W''(-5, -5): Both coordinates are negative.
    • This is FALSE.
  2. The y-coordinate of UU'' and the x-coordinate of WW are the same:

    • U(9,5)U''(-9, 5): The y-coordinate is 55.
    • W(5,5)W(5, 5): The x-coordinate is 55.
    • This is TRUE.
  3. The x- and y-coordinates of TT'' are the same:

    • T(5,3)T''(-5, 3): The x-coordinate is 5-5, and the y-coordinate is 33.
    • This is FALSE.
  4. The x-coordinate of VV'' is positive:

    • V(9,3)V''(-9, -3): The x-coordinate is 9-9, which is not positive.
    • This is FALSE.

Final Answer:

  • The only correct statement is:
    • The y-coordinate of UU'' and the x-coordinate of WW are the same.

Let me know if you'd like a detailed explanation of any part of the solution!
