Can someone please tell me what an exponent is?

the small number on the top corner of another number

Step-by-step explanation

lets say you have 2 with 2 as the exponent youre basically multiplying 2*2*2*2 so whatever number the exponent is you multiply the number the exponent is on by however many times the exponent says

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
