plz explain 2nd half of the problem....
Hi!
Solution:Firstly, the area of the square=256, Thus, the side of the square=16.
Next we are said that the origin (0,0) is the centre i.e. all the sides are equidistant. Hence, the vertices of the square are (8,8), (-8,-8), (8,-8) & (-8,8)
Now, the second half of the question says f(x)=c
x3Whenever you see a f(x) in a coordinate geometry question simply substitute f(x) with y
So, we get, y=c
x3The question then says this function passes through opposite vertices of the square i.e. it passes diagonally from point (8,8)to (-8,-8) or from point (8,-8) to (-8,8)
Lets substitute the value of x &y to get c
Considering (8,8)
8=c*
83c=
164Similarly, when you consider (-8,-8) you get C as
164And when we substitute the other two values we get
−164. As c is a positive value we can negate the other two values
Thus, C=
164Hope this helps
