Which of the following is the graph of f(x) = -0.5|x+3| -2?
2 answers:
Answer:
The last graph
Step-by-step explanation:
We transform functions in the following ways:
- multiplying the function by a number to stretch or shrink it
- multiplying by a negative to flip the orientation of the function
- adding/subtracting a value to the input x to shift it horizontally
- adding/subtracting a value to the output (or outside the function operation) to shift it vertically or horizontally.
Looking at the equation we can see
- Vertically shrunk by 0.5
- Negative leading coefficient to flip the graph's orientation
- Horizontal shift of the vertex of 3 units to the left from (0,-2) to (-3,-2)
- Vertical shift of the vertex of 2 units downward (-3,0) to (-3,-2)
The last graph has vertex (-3,-2) and satisfies the the equation.

The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.
(b)
There is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.
Step-by-step explanation:
Professional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities.
N = 209
Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site.
r = 8
a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site?
n = 10
The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is given by
Therefore, the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.
b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site
The probability is given by
For the given case, we have
N = 209
n = 10
r = 8
x = 4
Therefore, there is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.
