The table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 5| − 2 = 3:

1 answer:

5 0

First add 2 to both sides, next add 2 + 3 to get 5, next break down the equation into two problems which would be 2x - 5 = 5 and -(2x - 5) = 5, NOT 2x - 5 = -5, so this is the FIRST incorrect step, while step 4 is incorrect because its suppose to be 2x = 5 not 10, that's the second step, not first so answer is:

Answer: A) Step 3.

Describe the transformation of the graph of f into the graph of g as either a horizontal or vertical stretch. f(x)=sqrt(x) and g

SpyIntel [72]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\
% left side templates
\begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}\\\\
--------------------\\\\$

$\bf \bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}\\
\left. \qquad \right. \textit{reflection over the x-axis}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it sideways if }{{ B}}\textit{ is negative}\\
\left. \qquad \right. \textit{reflection over the y-axis}$

$\bf \bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}$

with that template in mind, let's see $\bf f(x)=\sqrt{x}\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
g(x)=&\sqrt{0.5x}\\
&\quad \uparrow \\
&\quad B
\end{array}$

so B went form 1 on f(x), down to 0.5 or 1/2 on g(x)
B = 1/2, thus the graph is stretched by twice as much.

Solve the inequality shown below. -2(q-22)+q+12>0

Andru [333]

−2(q−22)+q+12>0
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.
−q+56>0
Step 2: Subtract 56 from both sides.
−q+56−56>0−56
−q>−56
Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.
−q−1>−56−1
q<56
Answer: q<56
