Answer:
f(x) = -2|x-2| +4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1</u>: recognize this as an inverted, scaled, and translated absolute value function.
<u>Step 2</u>: identify the scale factor as 2, because each section has a "rise" of 2 for each "run" of 1. The scale factor is -2 because the function is inverted (reflected across the x-axis).
<u>Step 3</u>: identify the vertex* as (2, 4).
<u>Step 4</u>: Use the scale factor and translation information to make the transformation ... (let abs(x) represent the absolute value function)
f(x) = (scale factor)×abs(x -horizontal shift) + (vertical shift)
f(x) = -2|x -2| +4
_____
* The vertex is an identifiable point on the graph of this function. Knowing how the vertex is translated tells you how the whole function is translated. In general, you want to use an identifiable point (a turning point, point of symmetry, extreme point, whatever) when you're trying to determine the translation. For some functions, like a line, there is no specific identifiable point, so determining any specific translation is difficult or impossible.

One of the reasons for studying different functions is so you can learn to recognize their shape, and associate a formula and certain properties with that shape.

Answer:
a. x = 60
b. y = 93
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant relations are ...
- external angle A is half the difference of intercepted arcs BC and BD
- inscribed angle y° is half the measure of intercepted arc CD
- the sum of arcs of a circle is 360°
__
Using these relations, we have ...
A = (BC -x°)/2
x° = BC -2A = 114° -2(27°)
x° = 60°
__
y° = CD/2 = (360° -BC -BD)/2 = (360° -114° -60°)/2
y° = 93°
