-1/5 (x - 4) = -2

(-1/5)x + (4/5) = -2

-2 can be turned into -10/5

(-1/5)x = (-10/5) - (4/5)

(-1/5)x = -14/5

multiply by -5 on both sides

x = 14

hope this helps :)

Which of the following represents the factored form of f(x) = x3 − 81x?

You're original equation has a -81, so the factored form will have to have a positive and negative multiplying one another to achieve that...

f(x) = x(x + 9)(x - 9)

Write an equation that has a graph with the shape of y = x^2, but shifted left 3 units.

svetoff [14.1K]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\
% left side templates
\begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}\\\\
--------------------\\\\$

$\bf % template detailing
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\$

$\bf \bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\left. \qquad \right. if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}$

now, with that template in mind, let's see

$\bf y=x^2\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
y=(&1x&-0)^2\\
&B&C
\end{array}$

so, just change C to +3, thus C/B is 3/1
