Answer: A horizontal translation 2 units to the left
In this case, we are changing the variable x before it is being squared. This will have the effect of changing the input of the function. Imagine input 2 into the equation. Your first step would be to add 2. Therefore, you would need to start with a negative 2 to get us back to 0, or the beginning.
Since -2 is to the left of 0, the graph is moving 2 units to the left.
I can use the angle and the length of JH to find the length of IJ.
To do this, I look at the relationship IJ and JH have to the 52 degree angle. JH is opposite to angle I, and IJ is adjacent to angle I. Because the two side lengths are opposite and adjacent, I use the tangent function to solve this.
Tangent of an angle = the length of the opposite side / the length of the adjacent side. This is just another way to say tan(x)=opposite/adjacent
Now I can fill in what I know...
tan(52)=4.2/x
Now, I want to isolate x.
tan(52) = 4.2/x
x(tan(52))=4.2
x=4.2/tan(52)
Now I put 4.2/tan(52) into a calculator and get x = 3.3 ft
Hope this helps!
