Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf x = -2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf h(x) = 5x+2\\\\Put \ h(x) = -8\\\\-8 = 5x+2\\\\Subtract \ 2 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\-8-2 = 5x\\\\-10 = 5x\\\\Divide\ both \ sides \ by \ 5\\\\-10 / 5 = x \\\\x = -2 \\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!

Distribute the 2 first.

f(n) = 2n - 2 + 3n

Combine like terms.

f(n) = 5n - 2

All of the x values are the same so it is not moving left or right.
The y values are changing by being 2 less than the original.
If you subtract 2 from each y value you get the new set of ordered pairs.
It is moving 2 units down

Answer:

3, in both a), b)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The slope of the line tangent to the curve that passes through the point (2,-10) is equal to the derivative of p at x=2.

Using differentiation rules (power rule and sum rule), the derivative of p(x) for any x is $p'(x)=3x^2-9$ . In particular, the value we are looking for is $p'(2)=3(2^2)-9=12-9=3$ .
