ANSWER

a =  \frac{5}{16}

EXPLANATION

We want to find the value of a for which the binomial, 2a-1 is smaller than the value of the binomial 7-1.2a by 7.

This means that, when we subtract 2a-1 from 7-1.2a, we should get 7.

7 - 1.2a - (2a - 1) = 7

Expand:

7 - 1.2a - 2a  + 1= 7

Group similar terms:

- 1.2a - 2a = 7 - 7 - 1

- 3.2a =   - 1

Divide both sides by -3.2,

a =  \frac{ - 1}{ - 3.2}

a =  \frac{5}{16}

Answer:1651.38\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A walking trail is 1580.76\ ft long and a lake is located 70.62\ ft away  from end  of the trail

The distance from the start of the trail to the lake is the sum of the length of the trail and lake

\Rightarrow 1580.76+70.62\\\Rightarrow 1651.38\ ft

The function f(x) = x2 is translated 7 units to the left and 3 units down to form the function g(x). Which represents g(x)? g(x)
Verdich [7]

Answer:

g(x)=(x+7)^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x)= x^2

Now we have to translate f(x) 7 units to the left and 3 units down to form the function g(x).

As per the rules of translation

when any parent function, in given case f(x)=x^2, is translated to 'a' units to the left then 'a' is added to the value of x. thus making f(x+a)

Also when the parent function is translated any 'a' units down then 'a' is subtracted from the value of function. thus making f(x)-a

Translating f(x), 7 units to the left

f(x+7)= (x+7)^2

Translating f(x+7), 3 units down

f(x+7)-3 = (x+7)^2-3

Hence new function g(x)=(x+7)^2-3!
