A triangle has the vertices A (-2, 4), B (-2,-2), and C (2,-2). If the triangle undergoes a dilation and has new vertices A' (-1, 2), B'(-1,-1), and C' (1, -1), what is the scale factor? A) 1/2
B) -1/2
C) 2
D) -2

Your client has saved $1,860 for a down payment on a house. a government loan program requires a down payment equal to 3% of the loan amount. what is the largest loan amount that your client could receive with this program

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?

Without multiplying, tell which product is larger and why. 5 × 1/3 or 5 × 2/3 a)5 × 1/3 because 1/3 is less than 2/3 b) 5 × 1/3 because 1/3 is greater than 2/3 c) 5 × 2/3 because 1/3 is less than 23 d) 5 × 23 because 1/3 is greater than 2/3
