Answer:
stretched by a factor of 2, reflected over the y-axis, and translated 9 units left
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is 
We can rewrite this function by factoring -4 in the radicand to get:

We further simplify the square root of 4 to get:

The parent function is 
When we compare to the parent function, there is a stretch by a factor of 2, reflection over the y-axis, and translation 9 units left
The last option is correct
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the picture.
Answer: 7x+y+8
Step-by-step explanation:
Combining like terms is just like what it sounds. You take the like terms, or terms that have the same variables and such, and add them together.
For this problem, we can see that 12x and -5x are like terms because they both consist of a numerical coefficient and the variable x.
We can see that -3y and 4y are like terms because they both have a numerical coefficient and y for variable.
Now, we can combine like terms.
12x-3y+8-5x+4y [combine like terms]
7x+y+8
In the given question, it is already mentioned that Pam takes 15 minutes to type 2.5 pages. this information should be used as the main information for reaching the desired answer.
Pam typed 2.5 pages in = 15 minutes
Then time taken by Pam to type 23 pages = (15/2.5) * 23
= 345/2.5
= 3450/25
= 138
So Pam will take 138 minutes to type 23 pages
