F(x) = (x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 3)
(x,y)
east is an increase in x
west is a decrease in x
north is an increase in y
south is a decrease in y
so
3 east (x+3)
1 block south (y-1)
6 blocks west (x-6)
5 blocks north (y+5)
so in total, x+3-6 and y-1+5
basically x-3 and y+4
minus 3 from and add 4 to y
(1,-2)
(1-3,-2+4)
(-2,2) is the dropoff point
The distributive property states that a(b+c)=ab+ac.
In this situation, 4(x+2)= 4*x+ 4*2.
While the student multiplied 4*2 to get 8, the student did not multiply 4*x to get 4x.
