Given

gas prices are now $3.75 and it up 10% from 6 months ago.

Find out how much were gas prices 6 months ago.

To proof

gas prices now = $3.75

let the gas price 6 month ago = x

gas price now is rise up 10% from 6 months ago

First write 10% in simpler form

= \frac{10}{100}

= 0.1

Now the equation becomes

0.1x + x = 3.75

1.1x = 3.75

x =\frac{3.75}{1.1}

x = 3.41 (approx)

Thus gas prices 6 months ago be $ 3.41 (approx )

Hence proved

The graph of this function is shifted 7 units right and shifted 5 units up.
mojhsa [17]
<h2><u>Graphing</u></h2>

<h3>The graph of this function is shifted 7 units right and shifted 5 units up.</h3>

<h3>f(x) = -2/3(x - 7)² - 5</h3>

  • True
  • False

<u>Answer:</u>

  • <u>False</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Why false? As I noticed, in the equation f(x) = -2/3(x - 7)² - 5, the vertex is (7, -5). The value of a, which is -2/3, is negative. So the graph opens downwards. The graph shifts 7 units to the right, which is correct, but graphing 5 units up is wrong. Why? 5 is negative, so it should be shifted 5 units down.
