Answer: 2/3

Simplifying fractions: Reducing the fraction to its lowest term by finding the greatest common factor and dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCF.

GCF: The greatest common factor is integer divisible by both numbers. This number will evenly divide into both the numerator and denominator in this case.

Simplest term: The smallest possible number that cannot be reduced further while remaining as an integer.

Factors of numerator (6): 1, 2, 3, 6

Factors of Denominator (9): 1, 3, 9

both numbers have a common factor of 3 which is the greatest

Steps to Calculate:

1. Find the GCF

2. Divide numerator and denominator by GCF

6/3 = 2

9/3 = 3

Therefore, the lowest term would be 2/3

If f(x) = x2, which of the following describes the graph of f(x - 1)? A. The graph of f(x - 1) is a horizontal shift of f(x) = x

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this, we can look at the vertical & horizontal translations of a parabola of the form $f(x)=x^2$

A vertically translated parabola has the form $f(x)=x^2+k$ , where k is the vertical shift upward when k is positive and vertical shift downward when k is negative.
A horizontally translated parabola has the form $f(x)=(x-a)^2$ , where a is the horizontal shift rightward when a is positive and horizontal shift leftward when a is negative.

When we replace x of the original function with (x-1), we have $f(x)=(x-1)^2$ . According to the rules, this means that the original function is shifted 1 unit right (horizontal shift).
