I would guess they're referring to some general form first<span>f(x)=alog(x−h)+k</span>Where 'h' represents horizontal shifts, 'k' vertical shifts and 'a' stretches the function. "a" will also reflect the function across the x-axis if the value is negative. But NOT across the y-axis. I hope that's the place they wanted to put the a at least
2x^2-7=4
subtract 4 from both sdies
2x^2-11=0
therefor
2x^2=11
divide by 2
x^2=5.5
square root both sdies
x=-2.345 or 2.345
It is instructed to subtract (2a−3b+4c) from the sum of (a+3b−4c),(4a−b+9c) and (−2b+3c−a).
So, First we will do the sum of the three given polynomials,
Sum =(a+3b−4c)+(4a−b+9c)+(−2b+3c−a)
=(a+4a−a)+(3b−b−2b)+(−4c+9c+3c)
=4a+8c
Now, we can perform the subtraction,
∴ Required difference
=(4a+8c)−(2a−3b+4c)
=4a+8c−2a+3b−4c
=2a+3b+4c
