Here are the solutions to problems 7 and 8.

7. Triangle ABC has vertices A(1,2), B(4,2), C(1,4). Draw the triangle and state the coordinates of the image A',B',C' generated under a rotation of 90∘90^\circ about the origin (0,0).

To rotate a point (x,y)(x,y) by 90∘90^\circ about the origin (0,0)(0,0), the new coordinates are (−y,x)(-y,x).

  1. Apply the rotation rule to each vertex.

    For A(1,2):

    A′=(−2,1)A' = (-2, 1)

    For B(4,2):

    B′=(−2,4)B' = (-2, 4)

    For C(1,4):

    C′=(−4,1)C' = (-4, 1)
  2. State the coordinates of the image.

    The coordinates of the image are A′(−2,1)A'(-2,1), B′(−2,4)B'(-2,4), and C′(−4,1)C'(-4,1).
    (Since I cannot draw on the provided grid, I am providing the coordinates of the image.)
    The final answer is A′(−2,1),B′(−2,4),C′(−4,1)\boxed{A'(-2,1), B'(-2,4), C'(-4,1)}.

    8. Given that a‾=(3−5)\underline{a} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} and b‾=(5−15)\underline{b} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ -15 \end{pmatrix}, find 14(b‾+a‾)\frac{1}{4}(\underline{b} + \underline{a}).

  3. Add the vectors b‾\underline{b} and a‾\underline{a}.

    b‾+a‾=(5−15)+(3−5)\underline{b} + \underline{a} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ -15 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} b‾+a‾=(5+3−15+(−5))\underline{b} + \underline{a} = \begin{pmatrix} 5+3 \\ -15+(-5) \end{pmatrix} b‾+a‾=(8−20)\underline{b} + \underline{a} = \begin{pmatrix} 8 \\ -20 \end{pmatrix}
  4. Multiply the resulting vector by the scalar 14\frac{1}{4}.

    14(b‾+a‾)=14(8−20)\frac{1}{4}(\underline{b} + \underline{a}) = \frac{1}{4} \begin{pmatrix} 8 \\ -20 \end{pmatrix} 14(b‾+a‾)=(14×814×(−20))\frac{1}{4}(\underline{b} + \underline{a}) = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{4} \times 8 \\ \frac{1}{4} \times (-20) \end{pmatrix} 14(b‾+a‾)=(2−5)\frac{1}{4}(\underline{b} + \underline{a}) = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix}

    The final answer is (2−5)\boxed{\begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix}}.
