Sketch the image of A(-3,5) after the described glide reflection. Translation: $(x, y) \rightarrow(x+4, y+1)$ Reflection: in $y=-2$

Copy and complete: In a glide reflection, the direction of the translation must be___? to the line of reflection.

What are the (a) frequency, in $\mathrm{s}^{-1}$, and

The Fibonacci sequence The Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by

$$a_1=1, \quad a_2=1, \quad a_{k+1}=a_k+a_{k-1} \text { for } k \geq 2 .$$

The terms of the sequence $r_k=a_{k+1} / a_k$ give progressively better approximations to $\tau$, the golden ratio. Approximate the first ten terms of this sequence.

The price of flatware varies depending on the number of place settings you buy as well as other items included in the set. Suppose a set with 4 place settings costs $142 and a set with 8 place settings and a serving set costs$ 351. Find the cost of a place setting and a serving set. Assume that the cost of each item is the same for each flatware set.
