8P = A because there are 8x apples per x pear, so to make it equal we must multiply pears by 8. P+A = 981. replacing "A" in the second equation with "8P" to get P+8P=981=9P divide both sides by 9 to get 109 pear trees. knowing this we can get 981-109=A=872 apple trees. the problem asks for A-P which we can replace the numbers to get (872)-(109)=763 more trees
Here the list of the transformations applied to the parent function, and their effect:
. This causes a horizontal compression of factor 4.
. This causes a horizontal translation, 3 units to the left.
. This causes a reflection about the x axis.
. This causes a vertical translation, 3 units up
So, if you start from the graph of , you have to compress and translate it horizontally, flip it with respect to the x axis, and finally move it up 3 units.
