Answer:
X=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure B is .8 times the size of Figure A, so to find the value of x you would take the scale factor and multiply it by 5 in this case.
Answer:
y = -2
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - y = 17
-x + y = -7
here we can find the sum of the two equations
2x = 10
x = 5
now we can just plug in the value of x to find y
-(5) + y = -7
y = -2
The quadratic function given by:
is in vertex form. The graph of
is a parabola whose axis is the vertical line
and whose vertex is the point
. So:
To translate the graph of a function to the right, left, upward or downward we have:

By knowing this things, we can solve our problem as follows:
FIRST.
- Translating <em>11 units to the left:</em>

- Then translating<em> 5 units down:</em>

Since the new function is fatter, the factor we need to multiply the term
<em>must be</em> less than 1, to make the graph fatter. So, according to our options, there are two factors 1/2 and 2.
<em>Therefore, the right answer is </em><em>b. f(x) = 1/2(x + 11)^2 - 5</em>
SECOND.
- Translating <em>8 units to the right:</em>

- Then translating<em> 1 unit down:</em>

As explained in the previous case, there are two factors 1/3 and 3, so we choose the first one.
<em>Therefore, the right answer is </em><em>a. g(x) = 1/3(x - 8)^2 - 1</em>
