Let
x-------------> first odd number 
x+2----------> second consecutive odd number

we know that
<span>seven times the smaller, subtracted from nine times the bigger, gives 144

then
9*(x+2)-7*x=144-----------> 9x+18-7x=144---------> 2x=126-----> x=63

the numbers are
63 and 65</span>

Which phrase best describes the translation from the graph y=(x-5)^2+7 to the graph of y=(x+1)^2-2
Helga [31]

Start from the parent function f(x)=x^2


In the first case, you are computing


f(x-5)+7


In the second case, you are computing


f(x+1)-2 /tex] There are two translation going on: when you transform [tex] f(x) \to f(x+k), you translate the function horizontally, k units left if k>0 and k units right if k.


On the other hand, when you transform f(x) \to f(x)+k, you translate the function vertically, k units up if k>0 and k units down if k.


So, the first function is the "original" parabola f(x)=x^2, translated 5 units right and 7 units up. Likewise, the second function is the "original" parabola f(x)=x^2, translated 1 units left and 2 units down.


So, the transformation from (x-5)^2+7 to (x+1)^2-2 is: go 6 units to the left and 2 units down

If 5 + 6i is a root of the polynomial function f(x), which of the following must also be a root of f(x)? –5 – 6i 5 – 6i 6 – 5i 6
san4es73 [151]

Answer: 5-6i

The rule is that if f(x) has real number coefficients, then a root of x = a+bi pairs up with its conjugate pair of x = a - bi. In this case, a = 5 and b = 6.
