Esther drove to work in the morning at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. She returned home in the evening along the same ro
nydimaria [60]
The key is Esther travelled the same distance - x - in both her morning and evening commute.

45(time she took in the morning, or p) = x
30(time she took in the evening, or q) = x

Therefore 45(p) = 30(q), or divide both sides by 5 and get 9(p) = 6(q). I know you can divide it further, but these numbers are small enough and it's not worth the time.

Since the whole trip took an hour, (p + q) = 60min, and so, p = 60-q.

Therefore 9(60-q) = 6q or 540-9q = 6q. So 540 = 15q, which makes q = 36. If q = 36, then by (p+q)=60, p (the time she took in the morning) must equal 24.

45 miles per hour, her speed in the morning, times (24/60) hours, her time, makes 18 miles travelled in the morning. If you check, 30 miles per hour times (36/60) hours also makes 18 miles in the evening.

Let the graph of g be a vertical stretch by a factor of 3 and a reflection in the y axis, followed by a translation 2 units left
forsale [732]

Answer:

First, let's write the general transformations:

a) A vertical stretch by a factor of 3.

f(x) ---> 3*f(x)

b) A reflection in the y-axis.

3*f(x) ----> 3*f(-x)

c) A translation of 2 units to the left.

3*f(-x) ----> 3*f(-x + 2)

then we know that:

g(x) = 3*f(-x + 2)

and f(x) = x^2 - x + 1

Then:

g(x) = 3*( (-x + 2)^2 - (-x + 2) + 1)

g(x) = 3*( x^2 - 4*x + 4 +x - 2 + 1) = 3*(x^2 - 3*x + 3)

g(x) = 3*x^2 - 9*x - 9
