Answer:
As "x" increases "y" *decreases*
y as a function of x is not *constant*
Therefore the function is *nonlinear*
For all values of x, the function value y *≥* 0.
The y intercept of the graph is *8*
x=1 function value of y is *5*
From the given recurrence, it follows that

and so on down to the first term,

(Notice how the exponent on the 2 and the subscript of <em>a</em> in the first term add up to <em>n</em> + 1.)
Denote the remaining sum by <em>S</em> ; then

Multiply both sides by 2 :

Subtract 2<em>S</em> from <em>S</em> to get

So, we end up with

Initial:

Changed to:

As you can see the change is: from -1 to +6.
In a equation as follow:

The k is a transformation that moves up or down the graph of the function. If k is changed to a less value the graph moves down, If k is changed to a greather number the graph moves up.
In this case the graph moves up
To find the number of units the graph moves find the difference betwwen values of k:

Then, the parabola y=x²-1 is moved 7 units up when it is changed to y=x²+6
The answer is 28
30 minutes is half of an hour so you have to divide 7 by 2 which is 3.5 and then multiply 3.5 by 8 to get 28
Divide: 9x 2/36 - 4y 2/36 = 36/36. Simplify: x2/4 - y2/9 = 1. Then do (x-0) 2/4 - (y-0)2 =1. Hyperbola.
