What might the content of Romeo and Juliet tell you about the culture of the time (~1595)?
The content of Romeo and Juliet tells me that the era this story takes place in was fueled by money and power, and people often became sensitive when there was a threat to said fuel. We can also infer that this time period was very romantic, and loyal, as even within her first day of meeting Romeo, Juliet struggles to leave him/be without him. Even whilst their families were fighting, Romeo and Juliet stayed within their affairs
What's with the way it's written? Is this just how people spoke at the time? Or was there a certain reason Shakespeare wrote this way? From my knowledge, Shakespeare liked to write his characters to be more upper class. This means, he would sometimes make up words or sayings to make them sound as if they were better status. Maybe if they had been low class characters they wouldn’t have spoken as dramatically as they do in his stories.

How does hydrolysis work? Why is it important?
It’s the opposite of dehydration synthesis; it uses water to split apart two molecules. Hydrolysis is important because it takes part in breaking our food into it’s nutritious components.

Geometry
Explain how dilation works.
A dilation stretches/shrinks a shape based on a ‘scale factor’ which determines how much a figure will dilate.
Explain how reflection works.
A reflection simply reflects a shape, line, or point across a given line (usually an axis, but could be x=3, etc.).
Explain how you might go about reflecting a shape across a point.
You may be able to visually calculate the new location for the shape.
