\bf \textit{A is 852 feet more than tower B}\implies a=b+852
\\\\\\
\textit{The two towers have a combined height of 1,824}\implies a+b=1824\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{a}=b+852\\
a+b=1824\\
----------\\
\boxed{b+852}=1824
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
b=1824-852\implies b=972

how tall is A? well, a = b + 852.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Height of Tower A = 1338 feet.

Height of Tower B = 486 feet.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

The height of tower A is 852 feet more than tower B.

Let the height of tower B= x feet.

Then the height of tower A= (x+852) feet.

Also,

The two towers have a combined height of 1,824 feet.

This means that:

(x+852)+x=1824\\\\x+852+x=1824\\\\x+x+852=1824\\\\2x+852=1824\\\\2x=1824-852\\\\2x=972\\\\x=\dfrac{972}{2}\\\\x=486

Height of tower B= 486 feet.

and height of tower A= 486+852= 1338 feet

Find the rule and the graph of the function whose graph can be obtained by performing the translation 3 units left and 2 units d
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

 1. You have the following parent function given in the problem above:

f(x)=x³ (This is the simplest form. We need to translate it 3 units left and 2 units down)

2. If you take the parent function and make y=f(x+3), then you have:

y=f(x+3)=(x+3)^{3} (The function is shifted 3 units left on the x-axis).

3. Then you if you make y=f(x+3)-2, as following, you obtain:

y=f(x+3)-2=(x+3)^{3}-2  (The function is shifted 2 units down on the y-axis).

4. Therefore, that is how you obtain the final function.

The answer is the graph shown in the option a.
