to get the equation of any straight line we only need two points off of it, hmmm let's use P and Q here and then let's set the equation in standard form, that is

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{-3}\implies -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{6})

\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3(y-0)~~ = ~~3\left( -\cfrac{2}{3}(x-6) \right)}\implies 3y=-2(x-6) \\\\\\ 3y=-2x+12 \implies \stackrel{a}{2} x+\stackrel{b}{3} y=12

For the first graph, part a). The limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 from the LEFT follows the line y = 4, which ends at the hollow point (2, 4). This means that the limit is 4.
First graph, part b), The limit as x approaches 2 from the RIGHT follows y = -1, with a hollow point at (2, -1). This means that the limit is -1.
Second graph: We approach x = 3 from the left, following the downward sloping line which ends at the hollow point (3, -1). This means that the limit is -1.
Third graph: We approach x = 3 from the right, following the horizontal line that ends at (3, 3). This means that the limit is 3.

Note that when talking about one-sided limits, we use the hollow point's y-value which the function approaches. However, when looking at the value of f(x), we would use the solid point.

If you apply the changes below to the quadratic parent function, f(x) = x2, what is the equation of the new function? Shift 3 un
Alex17521 [72]
To apply the changes to the equation of a vertical stretch of 4 and a translation of 3 units to the right, as well as the correct answer would be choice B.

The reason for this is when you apply a vertical stretch, because it changes the y-values (which causes it to vertically stretch or appear skinnier when graphed), you would multiply 4 to f(x) which would look like 4x^2.

Then, since you have a reflection over the x-axis, you must multiply a -1 to f(x) to reflect it over the x-axis which would result in -4x^2.

Finally, it also asks to shift the graph right 3 which by moving it right, you change the x values meaning you will perform f(x-3) to achieve this (subtract the value from x when you move right, and add the value to x when you move left).

This therefore results in your answer, the new graph would be
g(x)= -4(x-3)^2 or choice B.

Evaluate................
trasher [3.6K]

Step-by-step answer:

Given:

k(x)=8x+7q...........................(1)

Evaluate: k(2q^2+3q) .......(2)

Solution:

From (1)

k(x) = 8x+7q

Substitute x=2q^2+3q into (1)

k(2q^2+3q)

= 8(2q^2+3q) + 7q

= 16q^2 + 24q + 7q

= 16q^2 + 31q
