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
Answer:
6(a)+14
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to find f(a) and f(2) separately, then add them together after
f(a) = 6(a)+1
f(2) = 6(2)+1 = 12+1 = 13
so f(a)+f(2) = 6(a)+1+13 = 6(a)+14
Answer:
58°
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle can be drawn to model the geometry of the problem. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the string, 100 ft. The side opposite the angle is the height of the kite above the ground, 85 ft.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides and angles.
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(α) = (85 ft)/(100 ft) = 0.85
The angle whose sine is 0.85 is found using the arcsine (inverse sine) function:
α = arcsin(0.85) ≈ 58.2°
The angle of elevation is about 58°.
