Answers:

a = 2

h = 3

k = -3

You have the correct h and k values. Nice work so far.

==========================================================

Explanation:

(h,k) is the vertex. So (h,k) = (3,-3) meaning h = 3 and k = -3

To get the value of 'a', we need to plug in some point on the red graph. Each point is of the form (x,y). We can pick any point we want that isn't the vertex.

Let's pick (0,3) which is the y intercept. I'm picking this because 0 is an easy number to work with

------------

y = a|x-h| + k

y = a|x-3| + (-3) .... plug in the h,k values

y = a|x-3| - 3

3 = a|0-3| - 3 .... plug in (x,y) = (0,3)

3 = a|-3| - 3

3 = a*3 - 3

3 = 3a - 3

3a-3 = 3

3a = 3+3 ... adding 3 to both sides

3a = 6

a = 6/3 ... divide both sides by 3

a = 2

The value a = 2 indicates that the parent function y = |x| has been stretched vertically by a factor of 2. So it is twice as tall as before. Then it has been shifted to place the vertex at (3,-3) as shown in the graph.

------------

You may be wondering why you can't pick on the vertex for (x,y)

Let's see what happens if we use (x,y) = (3,-3)

y = a|x-3| - 3

-3 = a|3-3| - 3 ... plug in (x,y) = (3,-3)

-3 = a|0| - 3 ... uh oh, we get 0 here

-3 = a*0 - 3

-3 = 0 - 3

-3 = -3

We get a true statement, which is nice, but it doesn't tell us anything about what the value of 'a' is. That 'a' term goes away entirely. So I avoided using x = 3 to prevent x-3 from being 0.

Which of the following equations shows how substitution can be used to solve
maxonik [38]

Answer:  Choice B)

2x+5(2x+3) = 3

============================================

Reasoning:

We start with the second equation 2x+5y = 3

Since y = 2x+3 from the first equation, we can replace every copy of y with (2x+3). This replacement is valid because y and 2x+3 are the same.

So that's how we go from 2x+5y = 3 to 2x+5(2x+3) = 3

This replacement is done to get rid of the y variable, and it allows us to solve for x later on.

Find the unit rate. Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.
OverLord2011 [107]
Basically, the unit rate is 1.99/18 or 0.110.

If we round 1.99 to 2.00, we instead get 0.111~
