If <em>c</em> > 0, then <em>f(x</em> - <em>c)</em> is a shift of <em>f(x)</em> by <em>c</em> units to the right, and <em>f(x</em> + <em>c)</em> is a shift by <em>c</em> units to the left.
If <em>d</em> > 0, then <em>f(x)</em> - <em>d</em> is a shift by <em>d</em> units downward, and <em>f(x)</em> + <em>d</em> is a shift by <em>d</em> units upward.
Let <em>g(x)</em> = <em>x</em>. Then <em>f(x)</em> = <em>g(x</em> + <em>a)</em> - <em>b</em> = (<em>x</em> + <em>a</em>) - <em>b</em>. So to get <em>g(x)</em>, we translate <em>f(x)</em> to the left by <em>a</em> units, and down by <em>b</em> units.
Note that we can also interpret the translation as
• a shift upward of <em>a</em> - <em>b</em> units, since
(<em>x</em> + <em>a</em>) - <em>b</em> = <em>x</em> + (<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)
• a shift <em>b</em> units to the right and <em>a</em> units upward, since
(<em>x</em> + <em>a</em>) - <em>b</em> = <em>x</em> + (<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) = <em>x</em> + (- <em>b</em> + <em>a</em>) = (<em>x</em> - <em>b</em>) + <em>a</em>.
Answer:
ΑΔΒ = ΒΔΑ because Δ stands for the difference between two numbers and the difference between two numbers doesn't change when switched to the other side.
9t-6-6t=6 -- add 6 to both sides
9t-6t=12 -- combine like terms
3t=12 -- divide by 3
t=4
Answer:
h = 7 + 6x
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are trying to find the height of the tree, we put h on the left side of the equation. Since the tree is 7ft tall at the moment, we write 7ft on the right side of the equation. Knowing that the tree grows 6 inches each year (x) we write 6x on the right side of the equation.
