Answer:

1 & 1/8 cup of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

A = half of 2 = (1/2)*2 = 1

B = half of 1/4 = (1/2)*(1/4) = (1*1)/(2*4) = 1/8

C = half of (2 & 1/4)

C = (half of 2) + (half of 1/4)

C = A+B

C = 1 + 1/8

C = 1 & 1/8 cups

----

An alternative is to first convert the mixed number 2 & 1/4 to an improper fraction using the formula below

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

2 & 1/4 = (2*4+1)/4

2 & 1/4 = 9/4

Then multiply this by 1/2

(9/4)*(1/2) = 9/8

And convert back to a mixed number

9/8 = (8+1)/8

9/8 = 8/8 + 1/8

9/8 = 1 + 1/8

9/8 = 1 & 1/8

we get the same answer either way

The graph of the parent function f(x) = x3 is translated to form g(x) = (x – 2)3 – 3. Which is the graph of g(x), the translated
Nookie1986 [14]

f(x) + n - shift a graph of f n units up

f(x) - n - shift a graph of f n units down

f(x + n) - shift a graph of f n units left

f(x - n) - shift a graph of f n units right.

f(x) = x³, g(x) = (x - 2)³ - 3 = f(x - 2) - 3

2 units right and 3 units down.
