Note the binomial expansion,

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)³ = <em>a</em> ³ + 3<em>a</em> + 3/<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em> ³

so

<em>a</em> ³ + 1/<em>a</em> ³ = (<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)³ - 3 (<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)

Similarly,

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)² = <em>a</em> ² + 2 + 1/<em>a</em> ²

We're given <em>a</em> ² + 1/<em>a</em> ² = 79, so

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)² - 2 = 79

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)² = 81

<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em> = ±9

but <em>a</em> > 0, so we ignore the negative solution.

Then

<em>a</em> ³ + 1/<em>a</em> ³ = 9³ - 3×9 = 702

The graph of f(x) = 2x^2 − 3x + 5 will be translated 8 units down, producing the graph of q(x). What equation represents the new
Fed [463]

q(x=f(x-h+k

here, h=0, k=-8, so

to translate f(x) 8 units down, we have

q(x)=f(x-0)-8

=2x^2-3x+5-8

=2x^2-3x-3
