<span>The correct answer is D) g(x) = -(x + 2)^2. The given formula F(x) = x^2 creates a parabola that is open at the top. To reflect this figure across the x-axis and have it open at the bottom, the y-position of the figure on the coordinate system for every x value, which is F(x) = y = x^2 has to be inverted. This is done by negating y and respectively x^2, so to reflect the figure on the x-axis the formula would now look like this: F(x) = -y = -x^2. To move any parabola two units to the left and thereby have its root be at -2, you would simply subtract -2 from every x-position of the figure in the coordinate system. For an inverted parabola like this one the value to move it on the x-axis has to be added instead and this results in the formula from answer D: g(x) = -(x+2)^2</span>
Both of the first
8 - N = 22
N - 8 = 22
Represent the difference between a number and 8 is 22 as it is not mentioned that either 8 or the unknown number N is greater so both of the first two represent the difference between a number and 8 is twenty two.
Answer:
y = -2x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
y-5=-2(x+3)
Distribute -2 × x and -2 × 3
y - 5 = -2x -6
y + 5 = -2x -6
y = -2x - 1
