Answer: A horizontal translation 2 units to the left
In this case, we are changing the variable x before it is being squared. This will have the effect of changing the input of the function. Imagine input 2 into the equation. Your first step would be to add 2. Therefore, you would need to start with a negative 2 to get us back to 0, or the beginning.
Since -2 is to the left of 0, the graph is moving 2 units to the left.
If it's described as my drawing:
The distance of downstream will be 375 * tan25 = 174.87 feet
-512 is the answer because 512 is a negative solution in Integers math
We can divide that up into two rectangles, say the bottom one 8 feet wide and 2 feet high. That leaves 5.5 by 6-2=4 feet for the other.
Cost = price × area = 2.25(8×2 + 5.5×4) = $85.50
Answer: $85.50
