You have to combine like terms, so 3b plus 2b equals 5b and you can't add b to 5a because they aren't defined, therefore th answer is 5a+b.

Answer: Choice D. g(x) = 3|x-3| - 6</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
Points are of the form (x,y), where y = f(x) since y and f(x) are outputs.
When we vertically stretch by a factor of 3, we are making the function curve 3 times more stretched out along the vertical y axis. So a general point (x,y) becomes (x,3y). Whatever the y coordinate is, we multiply by 3 to get its stretched out counterpart.
Eg: (0,-2) on f(x) moves to (0,-6) which is on g(x)
-------------
Since y = f(x), and we're multiplying y by 3, we can say
f(x) = |x-3| - 2
3*f(x) = 3*( |x-3| - 2 )
3*f(x) = 3|x-3| + 3(-2)
3*f(x) = 3|x-3| - 6
g(x) = 3|x-3| - 6
Answer:
B (if that sign is x + 4)
C (if that sign is x ÷ 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that x is definitely less than the other value, and cannot possibly be equal to the other value, as it's x + 4, so the answer is B.
It's the other way round if it's x ÷ 4 and the answer will be C.
hopefully I interpreted this question the right way!
6 × 6^2 = 6 × 36
= 216
Hope it helped!
