horizontal shift: 3 units to the left
vertical shift: 4 units down
Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
Given:
The two functions are:


To find:
The type of transformation from f(x) to g(x) in the problem above and including its distance moved.
Solution:
The transformation is defined as
.... (i)
Where, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.
- If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left.
- If a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.
- If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up.
- If b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.
We have,


The function g(x) can be written as
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Therefore, the type of transformation is translation and the graph of f(x) shifts 2 units up to get the graph of g(x).
