Steps to solve:

-3(x + 2) = 12

~Distributive Property

(-3 * x) + (-3 * 2) = 12

~Simplify

-3x - 6 = 12

~Add 6 to both sides

-3x - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6

~Simplify

-3x = 18

~Divide -3 to both sides

-3x/-3 = 18/-3

~Simplify

x = -6

Best of Luck!

Which function results after applying the sequence of transformations to

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The resulting function after the sequence of transformations is $f(x)=3(x+2)^5+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x)

the function a*f(x) will be a vertical stretch of factor a, given a > 1
the function f(x) + b will be the translated function vertically up b units
the function f(x+c) will be horizontally translated function of the original by c units left

Remembering these points, we can apply the rules to $x^5$ .

Strech vertically by 3 would be $3x^5$
translate up 1 unit would be $3x^{5}+1$
translate left 2 units would make it $3(x+2)^5+1$

Hence the new function would be $3(x+2)^5+1$
