Think of the equation of a linear function:
Recall y = mx + b for vertical shifts, we just add or subtract from 'b' and that will move the line up or down accordingly.. However, for horizontal shifts, we will need to add or subtract from 'x'. Note that the slope or 'm' stays the same for each type of shift.
Now that we know how the shifts occur, we might consider a different form of the equation for a linear function: y = a(x - h) + k here the 'a' is just our slope, 'k' is our original y intercept, and 'h' will represent the amount of horizontal shift.
So to get the desired transformations of a horizontal shift to the left of 8 and a vertical shift of down 3 from our original function y = x, we can make the following changes: y = (x + 8) - 3 Now you might be confused with how we got the 'x + 8'.. Let's consider values of 'h'. For positive values of h, the result will be a shift to the right and for negative values of h the result will be a shift to the left. So since we want a shift to the left we need to use a '-8' and when we substitute that into our new form, y = (x - h) + k you can see the sign change.
Now we can simplify of course and get the final equation: y = x + 5 or in function form f(x) = x + 5
They just told me to answer a bunch of questions sorry i dont know this best of luck tho !
Answer:
C. His opportunity cost of one watermelon is 2/3 of a cantaloupe.
c. Fewer households can afford luxury imports
Step-by-step explanation: Opportunity Cost is an economic term used to describe the benefits or profits which a person or an investor gives up in order to make choice between alternatives.
Recession is a term used in economics to refer a state of decline in the general productive economic activities of a country or an economy, it is also the state of an economy where the Gross domestic product (GDP) growth is in the negative.
Answer:
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:
an = a0*r^(n-1)
Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:
a0*r^(n-1) = an
a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]
We then apply the data given to us
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120
The first term of the sequence is -120.
