First off, this is the quadratic formula:
x= -b +/- √b²-4ac
           2a
(there's a division sign between the 2a)
Next, you would substitute each of the numbers in the equation for a, b, or c. For a, you would put it as 1. For b, you would say 8. For c you would say 9. Hopefully you get the pattern.
Then you plug in the numbers.
x=-8+/-√8²-4(1) (9)
           2(1)
Then you would simplify.
8²=64
 -4(1)(9)=-36.
64-36=28
√28≈5.3
So, you would end with 
x=-8+/-5.3
            2
Next, start with addition. Add -5.3 to the -8. That is -13.3. -13.3/2=-6.65. That is the first part of the answer.
Next, subtract. -8--5.3=-2.7. -2.7/2=-1.35.
The answers to problem is -6.65 and -1.35. Assuming your rounding your answers to the nearest tenth, your answer will be d. This is hard to explain in text, but I hope this makes sense.

Translate ƒ(x) = |x| so that it's translated up by 5 units and vertically stretched by a factor of 3. What's the new function g(
zavuch27 [327]

Given:

The parent absolute function is

f(x)=|x|

To find:

The new function if the parent function is translated up by 5 units and vertically stretched by a factor of 3.

Solution:

The translation is defined as

g(x)=kf(x+a)+b                .... (1)

Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If 0<k<1, then the graph compressed vertically by factor k and if k>1, then the graph stretch vertically by factor k.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

Parent function is translated up by 5 units. So, b=5

It is vertically stretched by a factor of 3. So, k=3.

There is no horizontal shift. So, a=0.

Now, putting k=3, a=0 and b=5 in (1), we get

g(x)=3f(x+0)+5

g(x)=3f(x)+5

g(x)=3|x|+5       [\because f(x)=|x|]

Therefore, the correct option is D.
