Oman said that it is impossible to raise a number to the power of 2 and get a value less than the original number. do you agree with oman? justify your reasoning

That’s false, if you raise a number that’s less than 1 to the second power, you’d get a lesser number.
For example, if you raise 1/2 to the second power, you’d get 1/4

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
