Answer:
Answer:
y = -5(x - 7)^3 - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
You kind of just plug in the numbers.
a vertical stretch by a factor of 5: y = 5x^3
a reflection across the x-axis: y = -5x^3
a vertical translation 1 unit down: -5x^3 - 1
a horizontal translation 7 units right: -5(x - 7)^3 -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A would be the best answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 3.5 & 355 because the decimal shifts to the left or right, you move the decimal in the answer too.
A good place to start is to set
to y. That would mean we are looking for
to be an integer. Clearly,
, because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since
is a radical, it only outputs values from
, which means y is on the closed interval:
.
With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that
is on.
Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval
, which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:

Which is strictly positive so we know for sure that all 11 numbers on the closed interval will yield a valid x that makes the radical an integer.
