Answer:

In these functions translation is used.

The transformation means that vertex of function m(s) is translated 18 units downwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that average gas mileage m in miles per gallon for a compact car is modeled by m(s) = - 0.015(s - 47)2 +33 and mileage for an SUV is modeled by my(s) = -0.015(s - 47)2 + 15.

We can see that both functions are parabolic and opens downwards. The vertex of function m(s) is (47,33), while vertex of function my(s) is (47,15). We can describe this change by translation.

This transformation means that function m(s) is translated 18 units downwards and average mileage of SUV is 18 miles/hour lesser than compact car at equal speeds.

The third term in an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the fifth term is 26.If the first term is a1,which is an equation for the nth

dexar [7]

Just plug in 3 for n and then 5 for n to see if an turns out to be 10 and 26.

n=3:
A) an = 8*3+10 = 34
B) an = 8*3 - 14 = 10 OK
C) an = 16*3+10 = 58
D) an = 16*3 - 38 = 10 OK

n=5:
B) an = 8*5-14 = 26 OK
D) an = 16*5 - 38 = 42

So the answer is B
