Answer:

  1.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A fills 1/2 tank per hour; B fills 1/3 tank per hour, so together they fill ...

  1/2 +1/3 = 3/6 +2/6 = 5/6 . . . . tank per hour

The reciprocal of this rate give the rate in the units we want:

  6/5 hours per tank.

__

At that rate, it will take 6/5 = 1.2 hours to fill the tank.

Which phrase best descubes the translation from the graph y = (x - 5)2 + 7 to the graph of y = (x + 1)2 - 2?
Ber [7]

Answer:

"6 units left and 9 units down"

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose a function is given in this form:

y=(x-a)^2+b

This is the parent function y = x^2

  • translated a units right (left if there was a + before a)
  • translated b units up (down if there was a - before b)

Now, to go from  y=(x-5)^2+7  to  y= (x+1)^2-2 , we can see that:

  • first function is 5 units right and 2nd one is 1 unit left, so there is a horizontal translation of 6 units left
  • first function is 7 units above and 2nd one is 2 units down, so there is a vertical translation of 9 units down

Thus, "6 units left and 9 units down" is the transformation(translation).
