The graph is shifted left 3 units.

We know that the graph of f(x) is NOT widened, because for a number c greater than 1, cf(x) stretches the graph vertically, not horizontally.

We know that the graph of f(x) is NOT shifted up 30 units. It is tempting to say this because we do see +30 as the last term. But, we have to calculate the vertex of g(x). If we find the point $P( \frac{-b}{2a}, g(\frac{-b}{2a}))$ , that is, by taking doing $\frac{-24}{2*4} = -3$ , $g(-3)=-6$ , we see that the vertex is six units down from f(x), not 30 units up!

We know that the graph of f(x) is NOT reflected over the x-axis, because there would need to a negative coefficient on the $x^2$ -term, and there isn't.

We know that the graph of f(x) IS shifted 3 units to the left. When we calculated the vertex earlier, we saw that it is $(-3,6)$ , which indeed corresponds to a shift 3 units to the left from the origin.

Find the value of x and BC if B is between C and D CB=4x-9 BD=3x+5 and CD= 17

snow_tiger [21]

X = 3 and CB = 19. To find x you would put 4x-9 + 3x+5 = 17. Remember to get all the x’s on one side and the other numbers on the other aide of the equal sign. Then plug x into the length of BC.

Tasha invests in an account that pays 1.5% compound interest annually. She uses the expression P(1+r)t to find the total value o

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$3000\\
r=rate\to 1.5\%\to \frac{1.5}{100}\to &0.015\\
n=

\textit{times it compounds per year}\\
\textit{annually, thus once}
\end{array}\to &1\\
t=years\to &5
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=3000\left(1+\frac{0.015}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 5}\implies A=3000(1.015)^5\implies A\approx 3231.852$

The following table shows the number of hours a cleaning company spends cleaning apartments.

mart [117]

First, plot the points in a graph to see the general trend. The independent variable is time. I used MS Excel to plot the points in a graph, as shown in the attached picture.

1. The relationship is linear as shown in the general trend.
2. The relationship presents that as time increases, the number of apartments cleaned also increases. The two variables are directly proportional.
3. The rate of change represents the slope of the line. Choose any two points and find the slope.

m = (6-3)/(2-1) = 3 apartments cleaned/hour
