<strong>in</strong> as numerators <strong>and</strong> denom<strong>in</strong>ators, with the usual operations on these<br />

fractions.<br />

217. Answer. A: B: C:<br />

218. Answer. a) The symmetry with respect to the orig<strong>in</strong> <strong>of</strong> the<br />

coord<strong>in</strong>ates (or, equivalently, the rotation by 180° around the orig<strong>in</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

the coord<strong>in</strong>ates). b) the dilation <strong>of</strong> the plane by 2 (fix<strong>in</strong>g the orig<strong>in</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

the coord<strong>in</strong>ates). c) the reflection with respect to the axis.<br />

219. H<strong>in</strong>t. Use the property <strong>of</strong> the triangles <strong>and</strong><br />

be<strong>in</strong>g equal (Figure 44).<br />

220. By hypothesis<br />

Consequently the equation is equivalent to the two equations:<br />

On the other h<strong>and</strong>, if then (cf., Figure 45)<br />

<strong>and</strong> similarly<br />

Thus the equation is equivalent to the equations (3.4).
