Answer:

13 sheep, 19 chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start to solve this problem by assigning variables. First, let's assign the number of sheep there are as x and the number of chickens there are as y.

Because each sheep has 4 legs, the number of legs for each sheep would be 4x. Similarly, because each chicken has 2 legs, the number of legs for each chicken would be 2y. Each animal would have 1 head, so the number of heads would just be x and y. Because the number of legs in total are 90, 4x + 2y=90. Because the number of heads in total are 32, x+y=32.

There is now a system of equations with two unknown variables and two equations. There are many ways to solve this, but for me, the easiest would be elimination. First, I would double the second equation, 2x+2y=64. Then, I would subtract that from the first equation, eliminating y. 2x=26. Solving for x gives 13. We can then plug that value into the second equation, making y be 32-13=19. This means that x=13 and y=19, meaning that there are 13 sheep and 19 chicken.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Ampltiude is 1

The period is

\frac{2\pi}{3}

is the period

The phase shift is 0

2. The Ampltiude is 2

The period is 2 pi

The phase shift is 1

3. The amplitude is 3

The period is 2 pi/3

The phase shift is -2

4.The amplitude is 2/3

The period is -10pi

The phase shift is 0

5. The Ampltiude is 1

The period is -2 pi

The phase shift is pi

6. The amplitude is 1/4

The period is -4pi

The phase shift is negative 2pi/3

7. The Ampltiude is 3

The period is 4

The phase shift is 8

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

g(x)=(x+4)^2-5

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) is shifted 5 down in the y axis, meaning you have to subtract 5 from the function, and is shifted 4 to the left in the x axis- meaning you have to add to the x's in the function.
