Answer:
Rule: replace x by x - a where a is the number of units that you want to move right. a must be greater than 0. x - - a would move left.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want f(x) to move 3 units to the right.
That would mean that x would be replaced by x - 3. Just to be sure let's try it.
- Suppose you have f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 5 It is graphed as the red line
- Now suppose you want to move 3 units right.
- It would replaced like f(x - 3) = (x - 3)^2 + 6(x - 3) + 5 which is the blue line
- Notice nothing else is changed. The blue line looks exactly like the red line except that it is shifted 3 units to the right.
Answer:
x = ± 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 25 = 0 ( add 25 to both sides )
x² = 25 ( take square root of both sides )
x = ± = ± 5
That is x = - 5, x = 5
