Paloma evaluated the expression 1 3/4 − 5/8. What is a way she can check her work?
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
add the subtrahend to the difference
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual way to check a subtraction problem is to add the subtrahend to the difference to see if you get the minuend as a result.
Paloma can add 5/8 to her result to see if she gets 1 3/4.
__
She can also perform the subtraction using decimal fractions to see if she gets the same result.
1.750 -0.625 = 1.125

Answer:
Parent function is compressed by a factor of 3/4 and shifted to right by 3 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to describe the transformation of function as compared to the graph of
.
We can write our transformed function as:
Now let us compare our transformed function with parent function.
Let us see rules of transformation.
,
,
Scaling of a function:
If a>1 , so function is stretched vertically.
If 0<a<1 , so function is compressed vertically.
As our parent function is multiplied by a scale factor of 3/4 and 3/4 is less than 1, so our parent function is compressed vertically by a factor of 3/4.
As 3 is being subtracted from x, so our parent function is shifted to right by 3 units or a horizontal shift to right by 3 units.
Therefore, our parent graph is compressed by a factor of 3/4 and shifted to right by 3 units to get our new graph.
