Select the function that represents the transformation of the parent function three units to the left and up two.
Gennadij [26K]
The third.

When you have a number in the parentheses(abs value function in this case) that is applied to the x value of the graph in the negative way. Since the 3 is positive, the graph will move to the left(negative) 3 spaces. Outside of the parentheses is the opposite; since the two is positive, it will move two places up, resulting in C being the only possible answer.

The reason it isn't D is because adding a negative to the front of the function would flip it over an axis which is not something we want to do here.

Base of an isosceles triangle is 5 more than three times the equal sides and perimeter of the triangle is 75 cm. Find the length
ad-work [718]

Answer:

14

14

47

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two opposite sides. If the two angles are equal , it means the triangle is an isosceles. Because 90 degrees is greater than 45 degrees, the two sides with the same length, would have a smaller length than the third side.

5 + 3x + x + x = 75

5 + 5x = 75

5x = 70

x = 14

5 + 3(14) = 47

Miley is trying to solve the following riddle the sum of three consecutive integers is 84 what are the integers
oee [108]

Answer:

Three consecutive numbers are 27,28,29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  The sum of three consecutive integers is 84.

To find : What are the integers?

Solution : Let three consecutive numbers x, x+1, x+2

So, according to given situation 'sum of three consecutive integers is 84'.

x+x+1+x+2=84

\Rightarrow 3x+3=84

\Rightarrow 3x=84-3=81

\Rightarrow x=\frac{81}{3}

\Rightarrow x=27

So,x=27

x+1= 27+1=28

x+2=27+2=29

Therefore, three consecutive numbers are 27,28,29
