Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's review the image of the test and analyze the answers provided:
1. Problem 1
- Question: Determine the translation that maps Figure D onto Figure C.
- Student Answer: Translation 1 unit right, 8 units up, and 2 units down (correction in the test shows "down" corrected).
- Feedback: The student was marked incorrect here, possibly due to an incorrect direction or distance of translation.
Expected Translation: You would check the grid and adjust the translation to correctly map Figure D to Figure C. Double-check if the movement was over-counted or under-counted.
2. Problem 2
- Question: Determine a series of transformations that would map Figure Q onto Figure R.
- Student Answer: The student mentions translation 5 units left, a reflection over the x-axis, and rotation, but it seems there are corrections, and the answer was marked incorrect.
Expected Answer: The series of transformations may have been out of order or incorrectly applied. Analyzing the figures is necessary to determine the proper transformation series.
3. Problem 3
- Question: Figure V is the result of a transformation on Figure B. Which transformation would accomplish this?
- Student Answer: The student selected option C: Reflection over the x-axis.
- Feedback: This was marked correct, so the transformation was correctly identified as a reflection over the x-axis.
4. Problem 4
- Question: What is the image point of (-8, -5) after the transformation T: (x, y) → (x + 2, -y)?
- Student Answer: (-10, 3) marked incorrect.
Expected Answer: Applying the transformation T to (-8, -5): So the correct point is (-6, 5), not (-10, 3).
5. Problem 5
- Question: What is the image point of (-6, 5) after a translation right 2 units and down 4 units?
- Student Answer: (-10, 7), marked incorrect.
Expected Answer: Translation involves adding to the x-coordinate and subtracting from the y-coordinate: The correct answer should be (-4, 1), not (-10, 7).
