Jimmy and Tony observed two points, P and Q, on a number line. A number line is shown from negative 1 to positive 1 with increme

nts of 1 over 8. The numbers negative 1, negative 6 over 8, negative 4 over 8, negative 2 over 8, 0, 2 over 8, 4 over 8, 6 over 8 are labeled on the number line. A point P is shown at the fifth tick mark to the left of 0, and a point Q is shown at the fifth place to the right of 0. Jimmy said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same. Tony said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are different. Which of the following explains who is correct?

Answer:

P is 5 ticks to the left of 0, so it would be -5/8

Q is 5 ticks to the right of 0, so it would be at 5/8

an absolute value turns a negative number into a positive number

so absolute value of  P located at -5/8 = 5/8

this is the location of point Q

Jimmy said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same.  

so Jimmy is correct

If the parent function is \root(3)(x), describe the translation of the function y=\root(3)(x+4)-3
xeze [42]

The parent function moves 4 units right and 3 units down. This is a translation by the vector.

According to the question,

Transformation \sqrt[3]{x} maps  onto \sqrt[3]{x+4} -3 . Take f(x) =  \sqrt[3]{x} and f(x+4)=\sqrt[3]{x+4}.

f(x) =  \sqrt[3]{x}

f(x+4)=\sqrt[3]{x+4}

f(x+4) - 3=\sqrt[3]{x+4} - 3

Analyze the function to see the translations. f(x-4) corresponds to a horizontal translation 4 units in the positive 'x' direction. f(x)-3 corresponds to a vertical translation 3 units in the negative 'y' direction.

Hence, the parent function moves 4 units right and 3 units down. This is a translation by the vector.

The equation 2.2x − 4.4 = 1.8x can be transformed to form which of the following expressions?
Anna35 [415]
The answer to this mathematical question would be "0.4x = 4.4". I simply subtracted 1.8x to both sides of the equation (following the subtraction property of equations) and then added 4.4 to both sides of the equation (following the addition property of equations). Thus, we arrive to the answer, 0.4x = 4.4.
