Answer:
D.) g(x) = -x² - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The function was shifted 3 down...
x² ↓ 3 = x² - 3
and inverted, giving you this:
-1 · x² - 3 = -x² - 3
<em>g(x) = -x² - 3</em>
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that Tammy ate 12 of the cupcakes she baked, we can write an equation relating the numbers of cupcakes.
__
<h3>setup</h3>
Let S represent the number of cupcakes Stacey baked. Then S-48 is the number Tammy baked. After Tammy ate 12 of her own cupcakes, the number she had was (S -48) -12 = (S -60). Stacey had 4 times this number:
S = 4(S -60)
<h3>solution</h3>
240 = 3S . . . . . . simplify, add 240-S
80 = S . . . . . . . divide by 3
Stacey had 80 cupcakes.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Tammy had 80-48 = 32. After Tammy ate 12, she had 20. Then Stacey had 80/20 = 4 times as many.
If Tammy ate 12 of Stacey's cupcakes, then Stacey started with 60.
