Jessica is getting ready for college she needs to have an overall grade of 85 in her Math class to qualify for the college that

she wished to attend. Her math grade is based solely on her scores on 6 exams. On the first 5 exams her scores were 87, 81, 85, 90, 78. Write an inequality that represents her predicament. What score does she need to get on her last test to qualify?

So,

Her average so far is the sum of the five scores divided by the number of tests she has taken so far.

(87 + 81 + 85 + 90 + 78)/5 = 84.2

(87 + 81 + 85 + 90 + 78)/5 < 85 :(

She will not get into that college if she doesn't increase her average on the last test.

85 - 84.2 = 0.8

0.8(5) = 4.0

On her last test, she needs to score 4 points higher than her current average in order to get into the college.

84.2 + 4 = 88.2

Jessica needs to score at least 88.2 on her last test.

Help please 1. Describe the transformations necessary to transform the graph of
natta225 [31]

Here are all the steps, and what they do:

STEP 1: HORIZONTAL TRANSLATION

We transform

x^2\mapsto (x-1)^2

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto f(x+k)

These transformations translate the graph horizontally, k units to the left if k>0, k units to the right if k<0.

In this case, k = -1, so we translate the original graph 1 unit to the right.

STEP 2: VERTICAL STRETCH

We transform

(x-1)^2\mapsto 3(x-1)^2

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto kf(x)

These transformations stretch the graph vertically. The graph expands if |k|>1, while it shrinks if 0<|k|<1. If k is negative, we also reflect the graph with respect to the x axis.

In this case, k = 3, so we stretch the graph vertically by a factor 3.

STEP 3: VERTICAL TRANSLATION

We transform

3(x-1)^2\mapsto 3(x-1)^2+4

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto f(x)+k

These transformations translate the graph vertically, k units up if k>0, k units down if k<0.

In this case, k = 4, so we translate the graph 4 units up.

So, we start from the original graph of f(x)=x^2 and we:

  • Translate it 1 unit to the right
  • Stretch it vertically by a factor 3
  • Translate it 4 units up

(the order is important!)

to get the graph of g(x)=3(x-1)^2+4
