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.

A three-centimeter cube has been painted red on all sides. it is cut into one centimeter cubes. how many cubes will be there wit
Likurg_2 [28]

There will be only 6  cubes with only one side painted red.

Cube : A cube is a 3D shape having 6 equal square sides. it has 6 faces , 8 vertices and 12 edges.

According to the question

A 3 cm cube is divided into one centimeter cube.

Every face will have 9 cube each and from that 9 cube there will be only one 1 cube that will have one side painted red.

Since there are 6 faces,

cubes painted one side red = 6x1=6.

Therefore , There will be only 6  cubes with only one side painted red.
