Describe the transformation f(-x)

Allisa [31]

Changing $x\mapsto -x$ "inverts" the orientation of the x axis, so the graph of f(x) is transformed by reflecting it about the y axis.

A diver dives from the board at a local swimming pool. Her height, y, in metres, above the water in terms of her horizontal dist

Aneli [31]

Answer:

4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in which the coefficient of $x^2$ is negative, the parabola opens up and has a maximum point. This maximum point occurs at the line of symmetry.

Since the divers height, y is modeled by the equation

$y= -x^2 + 2x + 3$

Step 1: Determine the equation of symmetry

In the equation above, a=-1, b=2, c=3

Equation of symmetry, $x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}$

$x=-\dfrac{2}{2*-1}\\x=1$

Step 2: Find the value of y at the point of symmetry

That is, we substitute x obtained above into the y and solve.

$y(1)= -1^2 + 2(1) + 3=-1+2+3=4m$

The maximum height of the diver is therefore 4 meters.

Answer:

(-2, 11) and (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

1) f(x) = x² - 2x + 3 ⇒ y = x² - 2x + 3

2) f(x) = -2x + 7 ⇒ y = -2x + 7

Solve Using the Substitution Method:

Step 1: Substitute the the first equation into the second.

⇒ x² - 2x + 3 = -2x + 7

Step 2: Solve for x.

x² - 2x + 3 = -2x + 7 [ Add 2x to both sides. ]

x² - 2x + 2x + 3 = -2x + 2x + 7

⇒ x² + 3 = 7 [ Subtract 3 from both sides. ]

x² + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3

⇒ x² = 4 [ Take the square root of both sides. ]

√x² = √4

x = ± 2

⇒ x = -2, x = 2

Step 3: Solve for y.

Substitute the found x-values into one of the given equations.

y = -2x + 7 ⇒ y = -2(-2) + 7 ⇒ y = 4 + 7 ⇒ y = 11

y = -2x + 7 ⇒ y = -2(2) + 7 ⇒ y = -4 + 7 ⇒ y = 3

The solutions to the system of equations are: (-2, 11) and (2, 3).

I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

aniked [119]

Answer:

a = 33 degrees, b = 147 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, and to solve for the angle on the other side of 109 degrees is 71 degrees, so to solve for a, have 180 minus 71 and 76. Then the sum of 71 and 76 is angle b since its the result of a subtracting from 180.
