A piece of driftwood floats on the surface of the ocean. Due to the wave motion, its height rises and falls relative to the heig

ht of the water with no waves. The maximum height of the driftwood is 2 ft, relative to the surface, and its minimum height is −1.5 feet.
A storm surge causes the height of the waves to be multiplied by 4.
What is the minimum height of the driftwood in the storm? __________ ft.
What is the distance between the maximum and minimum heights of the driftwood during the storm? ______________ ft.

Assuming that both the max and min heights of the wave are multiplied by 4, the new max height is 2*4 =8ft, and the min height is -1.5*4 =-6ft.

<span>What is the minimum height of the driftwood in the storm? -6ft.
What is the distance between the maximum and minimum heights of the driftwood during the storm? 8ft-(-6ft)=14 ft. </span>

Guys i need your HELP ASAP​

To solve this, you’ll first need to solve for their slopes.

The slope for line Q is y2-y1/x2-x1 = -8-(-2)/-8-(-10) = -3

We know that the lines are perpendicular so the negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3

The equation you get it y = 1/3x + b.

Now you will need to solve for b by substituting in the first ordered pair of line R.

2 = 1/3(1) + b.

Once you solve for b, you should get 5/3 and y = 1/3x + 5/3

Now, to find a, you will need to substitute in 10 from the second ordered pair into x in your new equation.

y = 1/3(10) + 5/3.

Your solution should be 5.

So your answer is: a = 5

I need help ASAP please (transforming functions)
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

okay look at it this way:

Step-by-step explanation:

when you use a mirror and you look at the shape on both sides then you will see the -x which is basically on the same side but just a minus instead. Soo let's say you have to graph a coordinate of (2,4) y=2 and x=4 si you have to graph the normal plots and when you put it in the opposite sides the thing you only did was you just made a reflection of the shape just negative instead. hope you understand what I'm saying.

(reflective)
