How would you explain to someone the rules of a horizontal translation where we are subtracting from the inputs(within the paren

thesis) before evaluating the function

Answer:

Ok, we know that we can write a horizontal translation as:

y' = f(x - A)

where if A is positive, this moves the graph of f(x) A units to the right.

Why is this?

Ok, let's compare:

y = f(x)

and

y' = f(x - A)

in y, when x = 0 we have f(0).

While to have this same point in y', we need to evaluate in x = A.

f(A - A) = f(0).

Then the value f(0) is now at x = A, this means that the point moved A units to the right.

And you can do this for all the values, so you will find that the entire graph of f(x) has ben moved A units to the right.

Answer:

B) f(x) = x if x ≤ -2

            2 if x > -2

Step-by-step explanation:

B) f(x) = x if x ≤ -2 (The x and y coordinate have the same value)

            2 if x > -2

Do you agree with the statement that " cubic functions must have at least 1 x-intercept but not more than 3, whereas quadratic f
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Yes, I agree

Step-by-step explanation:

For the cubic function

A cubic function is represented as:

f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d

A cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3 x intercepts. This is shown below

For 3 x intercepts

y = x^3 - x

Equate y to 0

x^3 - x = 0

Expand

x(x^2 - 1) = 0

Express x^2 - 1 as difference of two squares

x(x - 1)(x +1 ) = 0

<em>x = 0 or 1 or -1</em>

For 2 x intercepts

y = x^3 - x

y  =(x-5)^2)(x+7)

Equate y to 0

(x-5)^2(x+7) = 0

Expand

(x-5)(x-5)(x+7) = 0

<em>x= 5 or x = -7</em>

For 1 x intercept

y = x^3

Equate y to 0

x^3 = 0

Take cube roots of both sides

x = 0

It has been shown above that a cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3.

So, I agree to the statement

For the quadratic function

A quadratic function will not have any x intercept when the function can not be factorized;

E.g.

y = x^2 + x + 17

<em>The above function has no x intercept.</em>

A quadratic function will have at least 1 x intercept when the function can be factorized;

E.g.

y = x^2- 6x + 9

Equate y to 0

x^2- 6x + 9 = 0

Expand

x^2 - 3x - 3x + 9 = 0

(x - 3)(x-3) = 0

x = 3

We've shown that a quadratic may have no x intercept, and it may also have x intercept(s)

Hence, I agree to both statement
