If f(x) = x^2, which of the following describes the graph of f(x) - 5?
a.) the graph of f(x) - 5 is a vertical shift of f(x) = x^2 five units up.
b.) the graph of f(x) - 5 is a horizontal shift of f(x) = x^2 five units to the left.
c.) the graph of f(x) - 5 is a vertical shift of f(x) = x^2 five units down.
d.) the graph of f(x) - 5 is a horizontal shift of f(x) = x^2 five units to the right.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

the answer to the expression is 83
