Answer: Option a.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You have the following parent function given in the problem above:
f(x)=x³ (This is the simplest form. We need to translate it 3 units left and 2 units down)
2. If you take the parent function and make y=f(x+3), then you have:
(The function is shifted 3 units left on the x-axis).
3. Then you if you make y=f(x+3)-2, as following, you obtain:
(The function is shifted 2 units down on the y-axis).
4. Therefore, that is how you obtain the final function.
The answer is the graph shown in the option a.
In order for the triangle to be isosceles, we have to set two lengths of the triangle equal to each other.
Let's take the lengths 5x-12 and x+20 and set them equal to each other.
5x - 12 = x + 20
Combine like terms by moving them over to their respective sides.
Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
4x - 12 = 20
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 8
Check your answer by substituting.
5x - 12 = x + 20
5(8) - 12 = 8 + 20
40 - 12 = 28
28 = 28
Solution: x = 8
Those are the ranges for one tandard deviation below the mean and one standard deviation above the mean, and we know that 68% of the data falls in that range, so the probability that a randomly chosen worker makes that much is 68%
