Answer:

The age of the person who entered the room is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Ages of 5 people in a room are:

17, 16, 15, 17, 22

A person enters room, and then the mean age of 6 people is 17.

We need to find the age of person who entered the room.

The formula to calculate mean is: $Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}$

Now, in question we are given mean of 6 people that is 17

The age of 5 people are given while age of one person who enters the room is unknown.

Let age of person whose age is unknown= x

Now finding x using mean formula

$Mean=\frac{Sum\:of\:all\:data\:values}{Number\:of\:data\:Values}\\17=\frac{17+16+ 15+ 17+ 22+x}{6}\\17=\frac{87+x}{6}\\17*6=87+x\\102=87+x\\x=102-87\\x=15$

So, The value of x: x=15

Hence, the age of the person who entered the room is 15

1a) f(x) = I x+2 I. This is a piece-wise graph ( V form)
x = 0 →f(x) =2 (intercept y-axis)
x = -2→f(x) = 0 (intercept x-axis)
x = -3→f(x) = 1 (don't forget this is in absolute numbers)
x = -4→f(x) = 2 (don't forget this is in absolute numbers)
Now you can graph the V graph

1b) Translation: x to shift (-3) units and y remains the same, then
f(x-3) = I x - 3 + 2 I = I x-1 I
the V graph will shift one unit to the right, keeping the same y. Proof:
f(x) = I x-1 I . Intercept x-axis when I x-1 I = 0, so x= 1
