Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2|x - 1| = -4

|x - 1| = 2

since we are dealing with a function that brings 2 values to the same result, the reverse function (needed to find the values of x that create the result y) has 2 branches :

(x - 1) = 2

and

(x - 1) = -2

x - 1 = 2

x = 3

x - 1 = -2

x = -1

therefore, B is the right answer.

Which phrase best descubes the translation from the graph y = (x - 5)2 + 7 to the graph of y = (x + 1)2 - 2?

Ber [7]

Answer:

"6 units left and 9 units down"

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose a function is given in this form:

$y=(x-a)^2+b$

This is the parent function y = x^2

translated a units right (left if there was a + before a)
translated b units up (down if there was a - before b)

Now, to go from $y=(x-5)^2+7$ to $y= (x+1)^2-2$ , we can see that:

first function is 5 units right and 2nd one is 1 unit left, so there is a horizontal translation of 6 units left
first function is 7 units above and 2nd one is 2 units down, so there is a vertical translation of 9 units down

Thus, "6 units left and 9 units down" is the transformation(translation).
