Answer:

x = 15 \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangles have 3 equal sides.

Thus, perimeter of triangle

= 3(2x -3)

= 3(2x) +3(-3) <em>(</em><em>expand</em><em>)</em>

= (6x -9) inches

Given that the perimeter is 83 inches,

6x -9= 83

6x= 83 +9 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

6x= 92

x = 15 \frac{1}{3}

Let f(x)= lxl-3 Write a function g whose graph is a translation 5 units down of the graph of f.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

If the function "f(x) = lxl-3" were translated five units down the graph, g(x) would be lxl-8.

We must be familiar with function transformation and different forms of transformation in order to properly understand the question. When a function is transformed, the graph's curve either "moves to the left/right/up/down," "expands or compresses," or "reflects" to create a new function. For instance, by simply pushing the graph of the function g(x) = x2 up by 7 units, the graph of the function f(x) = x2 + 7 is generated. It is advantageous to convert a function since it saves us from having to create a new function from begin. Function transformations typically fall into one of three categories: 1. 2nd translation 3. dilation Reflection

The given query is about Translation of Function. To create a new function, translation moves the curve up or down and modifies its position. Translation comes in two flavours. Vertical and horizontal translation.

When the curve changes, "the function" shifts upward or downward. By doing this, a function of the form y = f(x) is transformed into f(x) ± k, where k stands for the vertical translation. In this case, the function moves up by k units if k > 0.

The function goes down by 'k' units if k < 0.

The curve in the given problem goes down by 5 units, so k = 5. Which is a vertical translation scenario. Consequently, y = f(x) becomes f(x) - k = g(x) and g(x) = f(x) - k = lxl-3 -5 = lxl - 8.

Therefore the new function after translation is g(x) =  lxl - 8.
