Answer:

  • Todd: 25
  • Andrew: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let "a" stand for the number of goldfish Andrew has. Then the number Todd has is (70-a). We are told the difference is ...

  a - (70-a) = 20

  2a = 90 . . . . . . .  .collect terms, add 70

  a = 45

  70-a = 25

Andrew has 45 goldfish; Todd has 25.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

I call this a "sum and difference" problem. You are given the total of two counts, and also their difference. If you were paying attention to the above solution, you see that <em>the larger of the counts</em> is (70+20)/2, <em>half the sum of the given numbers</em>. This is generically true of all <em>sum and difference</em> problems.

Knowing this, you can work most of these problems in your head.

Identify a reflection about the x-axis or a reflection about the y-axis of f(x) = √-x by observing the equation of the function
olga55 [171]

Answer:

B) The base graph has been reflected about the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function, f(x)=\sqrt{-x}.

Now, as we know,

The new function after transformation is g(x)=f(-x)=\sqrt{x}.

<em>As, the function f(x) is changing to g(x) = f(-x)</em> and from the graph below, we see that,

The base function is reflected across y-axis.

Hence, option B is correct.
