Answer:

absolute value means a number's distance from 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say you have -2 and you want the absolute value of it. -2 on a number line would be 2 places away from zero making it's absolute value 2. The absolute value of a number will never be negative either.

What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = x^2 when f(x) is changed to f(x − 6)

Answer:

The comparison graph is also attached in 3rd figure. In the 3rd figure, the graph with vertex (0, 0) is representing $f(x) = x^2$ and $\:f\left(x\right)=\left(x-6\right)^2$ is represented as being shifted 6 units to the right as compare to the function $f(x) = x^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

When we Add or subtract a positive constant, let say c, to input x, it would be a horizontal shift.

For example:

Type of change Effect on y = f(x)

$y = f(x - c)$ horizontal shift: c units to right

Considering the function

$f(x) = x^2$

The graph is shown below. The first figure is representing $f(x) = x^2$ .

Now, considering the function

$\:f\left(x\right)=\left(x-6\right)^2$

According to the rule, as we have discussed above, as a positive constant 6 is added to the input, so there is a horizontal shift, 6 units to the right.

The graph of $\:f\left(x-6\right)=\left(x-6\right)^2$ is shown below in second figure. It is clear that the graph of $\:f\left(x-6\right)=\left(x-6\right)^2$ is shifted 6 units to the right as compare to the function $f(x) = x^2$ .

To find the median you list out all the numbers and find the middle.

80, 90, 100

With angie getting 75, it goes from "80, 90, 100" to "75, 80, 90, 100"

This changes the median from 90 to 85.

Mean is the average of all the numbers. The average of the first set of numbers (Found by adding all of the numbers up and dividing by the amount of numbers present) is 90.

The mean of the second set is 86.25

The answer would be A, both the mean and median will decrease.
