<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are given a function as:

                 y=|x-4|-7      

We know that this function is a transformation of the parent function y=|x| i.e. the  modulus function.

The rule that holds in this transformation is:

It is a translation of the parent function 4 units to the right and 7 units down.

Also, the graph of the function is attached to the answer.

This is always ''interesting'' If you see an absolute value, you always need to deal with when it is zero:

(x-4)=0 ===> x=4,

so that now you have to plot 2 functions!

For x<= 4: what's inside the absolute value (x-4) is negative, right?, then let's make it +, by multiplying by -1:

|x-4| = -(x-4)=4-x
Then:

for x<=4, y = -x+4-7 = -x-3

for x=>4, (x-4) is positive, so no changes:

y= x-4-7 = x-11,

Now plot both lines. Pick up some x that are 4 or less, for y = -x-3, and some points that are 4 or greater, for y=x-11

In fact, only two points are necessary to draw a line, right? So if you want to go full speed, choose:

x=4 and x= 3 for y=-x-3

And just x=5 for y=x-11

The reason is that the absolute value is continuous, so x=4 works for both:

x=4===> y=-4-3 = -7

x==4 ====> y = 4-11=-7!

abs() usually have a cusp int he point where it is =0

Hope it helps, despite being this long!

Cylinders A and B are similar. The volume of cylinder A is 20mm3. Calculate the volume of cylinder B.
MrRa [10]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Cylinders A and B are similar. The length of the cylinder A is 4 mm and the length of cylinder B is 6 mm. The volume of cylinder A is 20mm3. Calculate the volume of cylinder B.

Answer:

67.5 mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cylinder A and cylinder B are similar.

Let volume of cylinder A = 20 mm^3

We know the volume of a cylinder is given by V = $\pi r^2 h$

where, r is the radius of the cylinder

            h is the height of the cylinder

We have to find the scale factor.

The length scale factor is = $\frac{6}{4}$

                                          $=\frac{3}{2}$

Area scale factor $=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2$

                           $=\frac{9}{4}$

∴ Volume scale factor $=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^3$

                                     $=\frac{27}{8}$

Therefore, the volume of cylinder B is $=20 \times \frac{27}{8}$

                                                               = 67.5 mm^3
