Math Problem Statement

Determine the translations and transformations that map figures in the provided test problems.

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): x=x+2=8+2=6x' = x + 2 = -8 + 2 = -6 y=y=(5)=5y' = -y = -(-5) = 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: x=6+2=4x' = -6 + 2 = -4 y=54=1y' = 5 - 4 = 1 The correct answer should be (-4, 1), not (-10, 7).

Tip:

When working with transformations, it's helpful to break them down into steps and verify the outcome at each stage before proceeding.
