The length of a side of a square is 4x – 1.
Express the area of the square in terms of x.

16x^2 - 8x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The area of a square can be represented as s^2 or (s)(s), where s = side.

2. (Solving)

Step 1: Set up expression

Step 2: Apply the FOIL method (first, outside, inside, last)

Step 3: Simplify.

Therefore, the area of the square in terms of x is 16x^2 - 8x + 1.

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
