The solution of equation is: x=-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

$5-\sqrt{2x+8}=4$

first of all, we have to simplify the equation

so,

Subtracting 5 from both sides

$5-5-\sqrt{2x+8}=4-5\\-\sqrt{2x+8}=-1$

Dividing both sides by -1

$\frac{-\sqrt{2x+8}}{-1}=\frac{-1}{-1}\\\sqrt{2x+8}=1\\$

Taking square on both sides

$(\sqrt{2x+8})^2=(1)^2$

$2x+8=1$

Subtracting 8 from both sides

$2x+8-8=1-8\\2x=-7$

dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=-\frac{7}{2}\\x=\frac{7}{2}$

the solution of equation is: x=-7/2

If f(x) = 3x and g(x) = 3x + 1 + 6. Describe the transformations from f(x) to g(x).

The parent function for quadratic equations is as followed:

$y=a(bx-h)+k$

where a and b represent vertical and horizontal stretches, respectively, h is the horizontal shift, and k is the vertical shift.

So going from $(3x)^2$ to $(3x+1)^2+6$ ,

We are shifting 1 to the left and 6 up.

The horizontal shift is in the negative direction because in the equation, h=-1 because:

$(x-(-1))^2=(x+1)^2$

The answer is A.
