According to the Tristate Transportation Authority, making certain improvements to the main commuter rail line would increase ri

dership dramatically. The authority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five years by raising automobile tolls on the two high-way bridges along the route the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed, the authority’s plan for securing the necessary funds should be rejected because it would unfairly force drivers to absorb the entire cost of something from which they receive no benefit.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the effectiveness of the authority’s plan to finance the proposed improvements by increasing bridge tolls?


(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

(B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

(C) Between the time a proposed toll increase is announced and the time the increase is actually put into effect, many commuters buy more tokens than usual to postpone the effects of the increase.

(D) When tolls were last increased on the two bridges in question, almost 20 percent of the regular commuter traffic switched to a slightly longer alternative route that has since been improved.

(E) The chairman of the authority is a member of the Tristate Automobile Club that has registered strong opposition to the proposed toll increase.

Answer:

Options A and B are true

(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

B. (B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. In a developed society, it's imperative for the authority to hold public hearings with stake holders to air their views before the tolls are increased, this would enable the authority to carry out proper assessment to know both the positive and negative impact of increasing the toll.

B. Increasing the tolls implies that there must be adjustment in the automated tolling machines and this would incur cost on the authority, this contract would be executed by private contractors.

1.the graph of y = x² is moved five units upward
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

I guess that we want to find the equation for each case.

First, let's define the translations:

Horizontal translation.

For a function f(x), an horizontal translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x + N)

if N > 0, the translation is to the left

if N < 0, the translation is to the right.

Vertical translation:

For a function f(x), a vertical translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

if N > 0, the translation is upwards

if N < 0, the translation is downwards.

Now that we know these, we can find the equations for each case:

1. the graph of y = x² is moved five units upward

the graph is given by a vertical translation of 5 units upward.

y = x^2 + 5

2 the graph of y = 5x² is moved six units to the left

this is:

y = 5*(x + 6)^2

3: the graph of y = -2x² is moved seven units downward

this is:

y = -2x^2 - 7

4: the graph of y = -x² is moved two units to the left and four units downward

now we have two translations, first 4 units to the left and then 4 units downwards, this gives:

y = -(x + 4)^2 - 4

5: the graph of y = -3x² is moved two units to the right

Remember that to move the graph to the right, we need to have N negative, then:

y = -3(x - 2)^2
