Answer:
When y = |x + h|, the graph is shifted (or translated) <u>to the left.</u>
When y = |x - h|, the graph is shifted (or translated) <u>to the right.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
The parent function of vertex graphs are y = |x|, and any transformations done to y = |x| are shown in this format (also known as vertex form): y = a|x - h| + k
(h , k) is the vertex of the graph.
So, for the first part, what y = |x + h| is saying is y = |x - (-h)|.
The -h is substituted for h, and negatives cancel out, resulting in x + h.
This translates to the left of the graph.
Part B:
For the second part, y = |x - h| looks just like the normal vertex form. In this one, we are just plugging in a positive value for h.
This translates to the right of the graph.
Answer:
To do this, all you need is to draw triangle with each side being 7 cm, and a circle that intersects all three of its corners.
Step-by-step explanation:
- With a ruler and a pencil, draw a 7cm line.
- With a compass set to a radius of 7cm draw an arc centered around the right end of the line.
- With the same compass, still at 7cm, draw an arc centered around the left end of the line.
- These two arcs will intersect on either side of the line (you only need one side, so you only need a small arc in the right place, roughly where you think the third point if the triangle is.
- Where those arcs intersect is the third point on your triangle. Mark that, and then trace two lines from that point to either end of the line segment you started with.
<em>You now have an equilateral triangle with 7cm sides. Next you need to draw the circle</em>
- Measure the halfway point on two of your three lines.
- Draw a line from that each of those halfway points to the opposite corner. The new lines you're drawing will be perpendicular to the edge your measuring against.
- You have now drawn two line segments, and they intersect in the center of the circle. Now take your compass and set its radius to the distance from that center point to one of the three corner points.
- Centered on that middle point, trace a circle with the selected radius.
And you're done!
