A triangle has corners at #(2, 7 )#, ( 5, -2)#, and #( 1, -1)#. If the triangle is reflected across the x-axis, what will its new centroid be?
The new centroid
From the old centroid :(8/3, 4/3)
God bless...I hope the explanation is useful.

To find the new centroid of the triangle after reflection across the x-axis, you need to reflect each vertex across the x-axis and then calculate the centroid of the new triangle.
The reflection of a point ((x, y)) across the x-axis becomes ((x, -y)).
So, reflecting the vertices:
- ((2, 7)) becomes ((2, -7))
- ((5, -2)) becomes ((5, 2))
- ((1, -1)) becomes ((1, 1))
Now, calculate the coordinates of the centroid of the new triangle:
[ \text{New centroid} = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}\right) ]
Substitute the reflected coordinates into the formula:
[ \text{New centroid} = \left(\frac{2 + 5 + 1}{3}, \frac{-7 + 2 + 1}{3}\right) ]
[ \text{New centroid} = \left(\frac{8}{3}, \frac{-4}{3}\right) ]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- Points A and B are at #(7 ,1 )# and #(3 ,7 )#, respectively. Point A is rotated counterclockwise about the origin by #pi # and dilated about point C by a factor of #3 #. If point A is now at point B, what are the coordinates of point C?
- If the following graph is of a function #f(x)#, how will the graph of (i) #f(x+3)#, (ii) #f(x)+3#, (iii) #-f(x)# and (iv) #1-f(x-3)# appear?
- Point A is at #(9 ,3 )# and point B is at #(1 ,-6 )#. Point A is rotated #pi/2 # clockwise about the origin. What are the new coordinates of point A and by how much has the distance between points A and B changed?
- Circle A has a radius of #4 # and a center of #(5 ,3 )#. Circle B has a radius of #3 # and a center of #(1 ,4 )#. If circle B is translated by #<2 ,4 >#, does it overlap circle A? If not, what is the minimum distance between points on both circles?
- A triangle has corners at #(2 ,-5 )#, #(-1 ,2 )#, and #(3 ,-3 )#. If the triangle is dilated by a factor of #2/5 # about point #(-1 ,3 ), how far will its centroid move?
