Answer:
The function y = sec(x) shifted 3 units left and 7 units down .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function: y = sec(x)
- If k is any positive real number, then the graph of f(x) - k is the graph of y = f(x) shifted downward k units.
- If p is a positive real number, then the graph of f(x+p) is the graph of y=f(x) shifted to the left p units.
The function 
comes from the base function y= sec(x).
Since 3 is added added on the inside, this is a horizontal shift Left 3 unit, and since 7 is subtracted on the outside, this is a vertical shift down 7 units.
Therefore, the transformation on the given function is shifted 3 units left and 7 units down
A. Stiles. For Melendez, each family member uses about 390 kilowatts of electricity. For Barton, each family member uses about 355 kilowatts of energy. Stiles uses 745 kilowatts per family member. 745 divided by 355 rounds up to 2 while 745 divided by 390 rounds up to 2. This means that the Stiles family uses twice the amount of electricity per person than the other families.
b. The Melendez family. The Melendez family uses 875 gallons per family member. The Barton family uses about 1067 gallons of water while the Stiles family uses about 1250 gallons. 875< 1067< 1250. This means that the Melendez family uses the least amount of water per family member.
A) The given equation has no solution. The absolute value cannot be negative, but must be -9 in order for the equation to be satisfied.
b) |x -7| = 2 . . . . . . . the equation
Solution 1:
-2 = x -7
5 = x . . . . . . add 7
Solution 2
x -7 = 2
x = 9 . . . . . . add 7
The two numbers are {5, 9}
