Answer:
1 9/20
you have to multiply and divide
1) Taking in account that the function is f(x)= -(2/3) |x+4|-6, I enclose a file with the graph.
That helps you to conclude:
a) The graph of f(x) has a vertex on (-4, -6)
b) When you multiply a function times 2/3 it is vertically compressed which is equivalent to horizontally streched.
c) The graph of f(x) opens downward
d) The domain of f(x) is all the real values (the absolute function accepts any value of x either positive or negative)
Answer: the graph of f(x) is horizontally stretched.
Answer: y = -6x + 2
m = y_2 - y_1
/ x_2 - x_1
-10 - 8
/ 2 - (-1)
= -18/3 = -6
m (slope) = -6
y = mx + b
y = -6x +b
Find b using (-1,8)
y = -6x +b
8 = -6(-1) + b
8 = 6 + b
-6 -6
2 = b
Final answer: y = -6x + 2
To check using one of the points: (-1,8) or (2,-10)
y = -6x + 2
-10 = -6(2) + 2
-10 = -12 + 2
-10 = -10
This is a true statement.
That is the Identity Property of Multiplication
It works because even if the numbers are broken apart, you are still multiplying the numbers by their values, it's only different because once broken apart, it's in expanded form instead of standard form. It also makes multiplication easier since you don't have to deal with such large numbers.
