The product of two consecutive integers is 72. The equation x(x + 1) = 72 represents the situation, where x
epresents the smaller integer. Which equation can be factored and solved for the smaller integer?

Answercounterclockwise rotation about the origin by 180 degrees followed by reflection about the y-axisexplanationthe given figure has verticesrecall that for counterclockwise rotation about the origin, when we rotate figure pqrs counterclockwise through an angle of 180° about the origin, the coordinates will becomenext, we reflect in the y-axis by negating the x-coordinates of the resulting figure to obtain,therefore the correct answer is c

The answer is (a) 12-2(-1)(6)2(6)=12
