1)
g(x) = f(x)+12 represents translating f(x) 12 units up to get g(x). This is because y = f(x), so we're effectively adding 12 to each y coordinate of the points on f(x) to have them move to the points on g(x).
note: the term "translating" is another way of saying "shifting" or "sliding".
===================================================
2)
h(x) = f(x)-7 means translating f(x) 7 units down to get h(x). We use the same reasoning as in problem 1. The general form is h(x) = f(x)+k, and in this case, k = -7. The negative k value tells us to shift down.
===================================================
3)
g(x) = f(x+8) means we translate 8 units to the left. The general template is g(x) = f(x-h). If h > 0, then we shift right. If h < 0, then we shift left. The amount that is shifted is equal to the absolute value of h.
===================================================
4)
h(x) = f(x-14) tells us to shift f(x) 14 units to the right. Same idea as problem 3, but now h = 14.
===================================================
5)
g(x) = 4*f(x) means we vertically stretch f(x) by a factor of 4. Since y = f(x), we are effectively doing g(x) = 4*f(x) = 4*y, which pulls the y coordinates upward by a factor of 4. A point like (1,2) will jump to (1,8) after multiplying the y coordinate by 4.
===================================================
6)
g(x) = f(5x) tells us to horizontally compress f(x) by a factor of 5. The general template is g(x) = f(a*x) where the 'a' determines horizontal stretching or compression. If , then we have horizontal stretching going on. If
, then we'll have horizontal compression.
Answer:
The base is 4cm and the height is 5cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a solve the system question. Call H the height of the triangle and B the base. The question tells us:
and
Sub the first equation into the second (as H is already isolated). You will end up with a quadratic equation - solve that any way you wish (e.g. quadratic formula). I've provided the factored form below which shows you the roots:
In this question, we take B=4. You can't have a negative side length so the other answer is eliminated. Now sub the value for B into either of the original equations. I'll use the first, again because H is already isolated:
