Before jumping into doing this problem, it is important to look at all the information's that have been made available in the question. Based on those given conditions the answer to the problem can be easily deduced.
Let us assume the number of friends Sumalee has = x
Then
2x + 8 = 40
2x = 40 -8
2x = 32
x = 32/2
x = 16
So Sumalee has 16 friends. There are numerous ways to get to the answer that is required to be found. This is the easiest and the shortest method. Hope i helped you.
Point A shows that she is incorrect.
With functions, you can perform the "straight line test through each point. If the line goes through both points, you know it's not a function.
If we plotted point A, it'd fail the straight line test because the given point (-6, 7) already has -6 as an x value.
Hope this helps!
Shifting to left mean adding the number from each occurrence of x from the given function.
So, shifting x³ , 3 units to left will result in:
f(x) = (x + 3)³
Shifting down means subtracting the number from the function value.
So, shifting 2 units down will result in:
f(x) = (x + 3)³ - 2
Therefore, option A is the correct graph
You have to get a common denominator so
3 x 3 = 9
5 x 3 = 15
So now we have 9/15 + 4/15 which is 13/15.
The answer is 13/15
