Normal-travel DATA:

distance = 240 km

rate = x km/h

time = d/r

= 240/x hrs

_______________________

Bad weather DATA:

distance = 240 km

rate = (x-20) km/h

time = 240/(x-20) hrs

______________________

Bad time - normal time = 2 hrs

240/(x-20) - 240/x = 2

120/(x-20) - 120/x = 1

120x -120(x-20) = x(x-20)

20 = x^2 -20x

x^2 - 20x - 20 = 0

x = [20 +- sqrt(20^2 - 4*1*-20)]/2

x = [20 +- sqrt(480)]/2

x = [20 +- 4sqrt(30)]/2

x = 10 +- 2sqrt(30)

The graph shows f(x)and its transformation(x).

andre [41]

Using translation concepts, the equation for function g(x) given in the graph is:

$g(x) = 2^{x + 2}$

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s definition or in it’s domain. Examples are shift left/right or bottom/up, vertical or horizontal stretching or compression, and reflections over the x-axis or the y-axis.

The parent function for this problem is given as follows:

$f(x) = 2^x$
