Answer:

E. 120

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 40

B. 72

C. 80

D. 100

E. 120

Let

x = the intended distance

y = length of the pool

She covers one fifth of her intended distance

Distance covered = 1/5 of x

= x/5

After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance

x/5 + 6y = 1/4 of x

x/5 + 6y = x/4

Collect like terms

6y = x/4 - x/5

6y = 5x - 4x/20

6y = x/20

x = 20 * 6y

= 120y

x = 120y

The intended distance Rebecca wants to cover = 120

Which translation for: y = (x+3)^2+4<br><br> If you can't see the picture zoom in.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original graph of y = x^2 has a vertex at (0,0)

The formula for graph translations is y = (x-#)^2+#

The number inside the parentheses is a horizontal translation.

So, we are given y = (x-(-3))^2+#

The vertex of the graph moves 3 points left, since the number is negative (-3).

The number at the end of the equation is a vertical translation.

So, we are given y = (x+3)^2+4

The vertex of the graph moves 4 points up, since the number is positive (4).

The new vertex is at (-3,4)
