Answer:

Reflect the parent function over the x-axis, and translate it 8 units to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$y = - \sqrt{x + 8}$

The parent function is

$y = \sqrt{x}$

Since there is a negative multiply the transformed function, there is a reflection in the x-axis.

Since 8 is adding, within the square root, there is a horizontal translation of 8 units to the left.

Therefore to graph the given function, reflect the parent function over the x-axis, and translate it 8 units to the left.

Two towns, Ancaster and Dundas, are 4 km and 6 km, respectively, from an old railroad line that has been made into a bike trail.

Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x

You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.

Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2

So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.

Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.

Maureen earned some money doing odd jobs last summer and put it in a savings account that earns 9% interest compounded quarterly

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Maureen earned $123.19 doing odd jobs

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this question:

Compounded quarterly means that $n = 4$
