Simplifying
120 + -28a = 78

Solving
120 + -28a = 78

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-120' to each side of the equation.
120 + -120 + -28a = 78 + -120

Combine like terms: 120 + -120 = 0
0 + -28a = 78 + -120
-28a = 78 + -120

Combine like terms: 78 + -120 = -42
-28a = -42

Divide each side by '-28'.
a = 1.5

Simplifying
a = 1.5

120 - 28a = 78
28a = 120-78
28a = 42
a =  \frac{42}{28}  \\ a =  \frac{3}{2}

Naoya read a book cover to cover in a single session, at a rate of 555555 pages per hour. After reading for 444 hours, he had 33
siniylev [52]

Answer:

<h3>The function formula for the number of pages left to read is given by P(t)=55(10-t).</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that "Naoya read a book at a rate of 55 pages per hour".

After reading book for 4 hours, he had 330 pages remaining to read.

In 4 hours, Naoya must read is given by

\frac{55}{1hr}\times 4hr ( by given)

=220

<h3>∴ In 4 hours, Naoya must read 220 pages</h3>

From the given there were 330 pages remaining to read at the time,

The total number of pages is given by

=220+330

=550

<h3>∴ The total number of pages is 550 </h3>

For each hour of reading, Naoya reads 55 pages, so the number of pages he finished reading by the "t"th hour is given by 55t

Let P(t) be the number of pages to read where P is a function of time t (measured in hours)

So the number of pages left to read is given by

P(t)=550-55t

P(t)=55(10-t)

<h3>∴ the function formula for the number of pages left to read is given by P(t)=55(10-t).</h3>

Which translation maps the vertex of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 onto the vertex of the function g(x) = x2 + 2x +1?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Option B is correct

Left 1 unit.

Explanation:

According to the graph theory of transformation:

y = f(x+k)=\left \{ {{k>0 shift graph of y= f(x) left k unit} \atop {k

Given the parent function: f(x)=x^2

and the function g(x)=x^2+2x+1

we can write it as:

g(x)= (x+1)^2   [ ∴(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2 ]

Therefore, vertex of the graph of the function g(x)=(x+1)^2 is 1 units to the left of the vertex of the graph of the function f(x)=x^2 .
