Answer:

7 & 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

2nd number = 8 less than 3 times the other

2nd number = 3x - 8

Their sum = 20

X + 3x - 8 = 20

4x -8 = 20

Collect like terms

4x = 20+8

4x = 28

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 28/4

X = 7

First number = 7

2nd number = 3x - 8

= 3(7) - 8

= 21 -8

= 13.

Therefore the numbers are 7 and 13

Which equation represents the graph of y= cosx reflected across the x-axis then shifted vertically down by 2 units?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

  y = -cos(x) -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the function value by -1 reflects it across the x-axis. Adding -2 to the function value shifts it down by two units.

reflected: y = -cos(x)

then shifted: y = -cos(x) -2
