Answer:28inches & 84inches

First, lets write an equation that fits the data given. The string is 112 inches long. When the two pieces are cut, the first piece will be three times as long as the second piece. If we use the variable, x, to represent the second piece, we can create the following equation...

112=3x+x

Now lets solve for x.

112=4x
divide both sides by 4
28 inches=x

Now we know that the second piece is 28inches long. Since the first piece is three times as long, simply multiply 28*3 and we'll know the length of the first piece.

28*3=84 inches
28+84=112

Leokris [45]

Answer:

The function has been flipped due to the negative in front.

The function has been shifted 17 units to the left.

The function has been shifted 4.3 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

When functions are transformed there are a few simple rules:


  • Adding/subtracting inside the parenthesis to the input shifts the function left(+) and right(-).
  • Adding/subtracting outside the parenthesis to the output shifts the function up(+) and down(-).
  • Multiplying the function by a number less than 1 compresses it towards the x-axis.
  • Multiplying the function by a number greater than 1 stretches it away from the x-axis.
  • Multiplying by a negative flips the graph.

The graph of (-2^{x+17}) -4.3 compares to 2^x in the following ways:

The function has been flipped due to the negative in front.

The function has been shifted 17 units to the left.

The function has been shifted 4.3 units down.
