Answer:

7.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the height to the width of a packaging label is 5 to 19, that is,

h/w = 5/19 [1]

If the height of the label is 2 inches, and its width is unknown (x), that is,

h/w = 2 in/x [2]

We can set up a proportion with [1] and [2],

5/19 = 2 in/x

We use the cross product property of proportions.

5 × x = 19 × 2 in

x = 19 × 2 in/ 5 = 7.6 in

The width is 7.6 inches.

Height/width=5/19
5/19=2/x
(5)(x)=(19)(2)
5x=38
5/5x=38/5
x=38/5in or 7.6in

Shifting to left mean adding the number from each occurrence of x from the given function.

So, shifting x³ , 3 units to left will result in:

f(x) = (x + 3)³

Shifting down means subtracting the number from the function value. 

So, shifting 2 units down will result in:

f(x) = (x + 3)³ - 2

Therefore, option A is the correct graph
