<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
transform the parent graph of f(x) = ln x into f(x) = - ln (x - 4) by shifting the parent graph 4 units to the right and reflecting over the x-axis
(???, 0): 0 = - ln (x - 4)
0 = ln (x - 4)
1 = x - 4
<u> +4 </u> <u> +4 </u>
5 = x
(5, 0)
(???, 1): 1 = - ln (x - 4)
1 = ln (x - 4)
e = x - 4
<u> +4 </u> <u> +4 </u>
e + 4 = x
6.72 = x
(6.72, 1)
Domain: x - 4 > 0
<u> +4 </u> <u>+4 </u>
x > 4
(4, ∞)
Vertical asymptotes: there are no vertical asymptotes for the parent function and the transformation did not alter that
No vertical asymptotes
*************************************************************************
transform the parent graph of f(x) = 3ˣ into f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵ by shifting the parent graph 5 units to the left and reflecting over the x-axis
Domain: there is no restriction on x so domain is all real number
(-∞, ∞)
Range: there is a horizontal asymptote for the parent graph of y = 0 with range of y > 0. the transformation is a reflection over the x-axis so the horizontal asymptote is the same (y = 0) but the range changed to y < 0.
(-∞, 0)
Y-intercept is when x = 0:
f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵
= - 3⁰⁺⁵
= - 3⁵
= -243
Horizontal Asymptote: y = 0 <em>(explanation above)</em>
Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile
Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom: 
. From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.
Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books
Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean: 
. For Edgar, that would mean: 
. So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.
Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)
Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.
At the beining, he has 76
that is at x=0
y=mx+76
find m
given
when x=2, y=100
find m
100=2m+76
minus 76 both sides
24=2m
divide both sides by 2
12=m
the equatin is
y=12x+76
The ordered pairs already plotted have x-coordinates: -3, -2, 1, and 2.
A function cannot have two ordered pairs with the same x-coordinate.
The answer cannot have -3, -2, 1, or 2 as the x-coordinate.
Answer: First choice (-1, 2)
