A contraction would make the image smaller.
A negative number reflects the image and changes the size based on the number.
To make an image smaller the factor needs to be less than 1
so -0.5 and 0.5 would make the image smaller since 0.5 is less than 1.
(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (|x| + 9 ) + (-6) =
|x| + 9 - 6 = |x| + 3
Answer is |x| + 3
<span>The number of x-intercepts that appear on the graph of the function
</span>f(x)=(x-6)^2(x+2)^2 is two (2): x=6 (multiplicity 2) and x=-2 (multiplicity 2)
Solution
x-intercepts:
f(x)=0→(x-6)^2 (x+2)^2 =0
Using that: If a . b =0→a=0 or b=0; with a=(x-6)^2 and b=(x+2)^2
(x-6)^2=0
Solving for x. Square root both sides of the equation:
sqrt[ (x-6)^2] = sqrt(0)→x-6=0
Adding 6 both sides of the equation:
x-6+6=0+6→x=6 Multiplicity 2
(x+2)^2=0
Solving for x. Square root both sides of the equation:
sqrt[ (x+2)^2] = sqrt(0)→x+2=0
Subtracting 2 both sides of the equation:
x+2-2=0-2→x=-2 Multiplicity 2
Answer:
.
It means that 673 of 9 inch tiles are required to cover an area of 400 square feet, when spacing the tiles a quarter inch apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The function relating number of 9 inch tiles required and area to cover is:

Now, plug in 400 for
to evaluate
.

Therefore, Don required 673 of 9 inch tiles to cover an area of 400 square feet, when spacing the tiles a quarter inch apart.
1 foot = 12 inches.
0.75 feet x 12 inches per foot = 9 inches per day.
1 day = 24 hours.
9 inches / 24 hours = 0.375 inches per hour ( 3/8 inch per hour)
Not sure if you need a decimal or fraction for an answer so I provided both.
