Answer: y = |x+4|
Explanation:
Imagine that the graph of y = |x| is carved in stone so it cannot move. What we can move though is the xy axis. If we move the xy axis 4 units to the right, then this gives the illusion the V shaped curve is moving 4 units to the left. It goes opposite whatever movement you do to the xy axis.
If we replaced x with x+4, then this moves the xy axis 4 units to the right.
Therefore, going from y = |x| to y = |x+4| will have the V shaped curve moving 4 units to the left.
84 sq. ft of the wall has to be covered with paint or wallpaper.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the area of wallpaper to be covered by calculating the area of the wall and subtracting the areas of the window, mirror and fireplace from it. All are rectangular in shape with are given by A = length × width
Area of the wall = 8 × 16 = 128 ft²
Area of the window = 18/12 × 14 = 1.5 × 14 = 21 ft² (since 1 ft = 12 in)
Area of the fireplace = 5 × 3 = 15 ft²
Area of the mirror = 4 × 2 = 8 ft²
- Step 2: Calculate the area to be painted or covered with wallpaper
Area of the wall to be covered with paint or wallpaper = 128 - (21 + 15 + 8)
= 128 - 44
= 84 ft²
