The parent function is ...
... f(x) = |x|
This is the absolute value function, equal x when x ≥ 0, and equal to -x when x < 0. Its graph has the shape of a V with the vertex at the origin and "legs" of slope ±1.
The function g(x) is the same function with 2 added. The addition of 2 moves every value of f(x) up 2 units, so translates the whole graph upward by 2 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
50% interest annually.
that means he gets 50% interest of the invested capital every year.
and that means he gets 50% of $70 in one year.
70 = 100%
1% = 100%/100 = 70/100 = $0.70
50% = 1%×50 = 0.7 × 50 = $35
he will earn $35 interest in one year.
as you noticed: 50% simply means 1/2 (as 100% stands for the whole).
Answer: Aproximately 2,525 balloons
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the volume of a balloon with the formula given in the problem, where
is the radius (
), then:

2. Convert the volume from m³ to lliters by multiplying it by 1,000:

3. You know that that 1 liter of helium can lift 1 gram and that Ryan weighs 5 stone and 5 pounds. So you must make the following conversions:
1 g=0.0022 lb
From 5 stones to pounds

4. Then Ryan's weigh is:
5lb+70lb=75lb
5. Then, if 1 liter of helium can lift 0.0022 lb, to lift 75 lb (which is the weight of Ryan) they need:

6. Then, to calculate the aproximated number of balloons they need to make him float (which can call
), you must divide the liters of helium needed to lift the weight of Ryan by the volume of a balloon, then the result is:

≈2,525 balloons.
1/9=0.11111.....
so the correct option is (a).
