Graph the image of rhombus EFGH after a reflection across the line x = 3 G(-1, 10), F(-4, 6), E(-4, 1), H(-1, 5)

 see image

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw line x = 3.  Count how many units each point is away from line x = 3. Plot the new point the same number of units away from line x = 3 but in the opposite direction.

Point G is 4 units to the left of x = 3. The new point G' is 4 units to the right of x = 3.

Point F is 7 units to the left of x = 3. The new point G' is 7 units to the right of x = 3.

Point E is 7 units to the left of x = 3. The new point G' is 7 units to the right of x = 3.

Point H is 4 units to the left of x = 3. The new point G' is 4 units to the right of x = 3.

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1
