-1 17/20 and -1 8/10 can be compared easily if we give them common denominators. If we multiply the second fraction by 2, both fractions will have a denominator of 20.
8 * 2 = 16
10 * 2 = 20
New fraction: 16/20
-1 17/20 vs. - 1 16/20
-1 16/20 (-1 8/10) is greater. (For negative numbers, you can tell which one is greater by determining which one is closest to zero.)
Answer: Ix+10I
Step-by-step explanation: To shift the graph 10 units to the left, we replace x with x+10. What's really going on is that the xy axis shifts 10 units to the right (because x is now x+10; eg, x = 2 ---> x+10 = 2+10 = 12) so it appears that the graph is moving to the left. The general rule is h(x) = g(x+10).
So,
g(x) = |x|
g(x+10) = |x+10| ... every x has been replaced with x+10
h(x) = g(x+10)
h(x) = |x+10|
We can use a graphing tool like GeoGebra to visually confirm we have the right answer (see attached). Note how a point like (0,0) on the green graph moves to (-10,0) on the red graph.
