Answer: 
</h3>
The -3 is not in the exponent
Explanation:
The parent function is
. Plugging in x = 0 leads to y = 1. So the point (0,1) is on the f(x) curve. Going from (0,1) to (0,-2) is a vertical shift of 3 units downward. To represent this shift, we tack on a "-3" at the end of the f(x) function.

You could look at other points as well, but I find working with x = 0 is easiest.
As a check, plugging x = 0 into g(x) leads to...

This confirms our answer.
Peanut butter: 8.3 ounces
Sandwich: 5
Divide 8.3 by 5, for equal amount of peanut butter on each sandwich.
8.3/5 = 1.66
She puts 1.66 ounces of peanut butter on each sandwich.
297/11 = 27
So we have 27 groups of 11 students. If there are 2 chaperones for every 11 students, then we can do:
27x2=54
There are 54 chaperones on the field trip.
Answer:
Unit Rate of Change = 1.27%
Step-by-step explanation:
In 2000, t=1 and Total Music sales = 24.8%
In 2007, t=7 and Total Music sales = 32.4%
The Slope 
The Unit Rate of Change is 1.27% and it means that the Total Music Sales Increased by approximately 1.27% every year.
First your going to distribute the 3
3(-3x+15)
-9x+45
27=6x-9x+15
27=-3x+15
Then you’ll minus 15 from 27
27-15=12
12=3x
X=4
