A long time ago Dulani found an island shaped like a triangle with three straight shores of length 3 km 4 km and 5 km.He said no
body could come within 1km of his shore. What was the area of his exclusion zone?
1 answer:
To find the area of his exclusion zone you would need to understand that a triangle with dimensions of 3, 4, and 5 represent a right triangle.
This means the exclusion zone would be applied to the base and the height of the triangular space.
You would add 2 km to the 3 km, and 2 km to the 4 km to create a new height of 5 km and a new base of 6 km.
Please see the attached picture to understand this.
You will find the area of the total space created by the new triangle and subtract the space represented by the original triangle to find the area of the exclusion zone.
(1/2 x 6 x 5) - (1/2 x 4 x 3)
15 km² -6 km² equals 9 km².
The exclusion space is 9 km².
This means the exclusion zone would be applied to the base and the height of the triangular space.
You would add 2 km to the 3 km, and 2 km to the 4 km to create a new height of 5 km and a new base of 6 km.
Please see the attached picture to understand this.
You will find the area of the total space created by the new triangle and subtract the space represented by the original triangle to find the area of the exclusion zone.
(1/2 x 6 x 5) - (1/2 x 4 x 3)
15 km² -6 km² equals 9 km².
The exclusion space is 9 km².

Answer:
The Translation is 5 units to the right and 8 units up
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets talk about some transformation
- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the right
by h units, then the new function g(x) = f(x - h)
- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the left
by h units, then the new function g(x) = f(x + h)
- If the function f(x) translated vertically up
by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) + k
- If the function f(x) translated vertically down
by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) – k
* Now lets solve the problem
∵ The parent function is y = (0.5)^x
∵ f(x) = (0.5)^x - 5 + 8 after translation
- The x in the first function is (x - 5) in the second function
∴ There is a horizontal translation to the right 5 units
- the first function is (0.5)^x in the second function y = (0.5)^x - 5 + 8
∴ There is a vertical translation up 8 units
* The Translation is 5 units to the right and 8 units up
- Look to the attached graph to more understand
- The purple graph is y = (0.5)^x
- The black graph is f(x) = (0.5)^x-5 + 8
- To check the answer take a point from the y = (0.5)^x as (0 , 1), the
image of this point on f(x) is (5 , 9)
-The point (0 , 1) is shifted 5 units to the right and 8 units up
∴ Its x- coordinate move from 0 to 5, y- coordinate move from 1 to 9
