How is the graph of y=9(3)^x-2 -6 translated from the graph of y=9(3)^x ?
1 answer:
f(x - n) - shift the graph n units right
f(x + n) - shift the graph n units left
f(x) - n - shift the graph n units down
f(x) + n - shift the graph n units up
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: shift the graph of y = 9(3)ˣ two units right and six units down.

Answer:
- 20 months
- $5500
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to work a problem like this. You have probably been taught to write equations for each of the payment amounts as a function of time, then equate those values to solve for the time that makes them equal.
at dealer 1, the total amount paid (y) will be a function of months (x):
y = 2500 +150x
at dealer 2, the corresponding equation is ...
y = 3000 +125x
These are equal when ...
y = y
2500 +150x = 3000 +125x
25x = 500 . . . . . . . . . subtract 125x +2500 from both sides
x = 500/25 = 20
The total paid will be the same after 20 months.
That amount is ...
y = 2500 +150(20) = 5500
$5500 will be paid to either dealer after 20 months.

The other way to work the problem is to "cut to the chase". The difference in down payment is made up at the rate of difference in monthly payments. So The number of monthly payments (x) required to equal the difference in down payments is ...
25x = 500 . . . . . . . . . you may recognize this equation from above
x = 500/25 = 20
