The function f(x) is shown below. f(x) = (3)x - 2 the function f(x) is shifted to the left by 13 units. which of the following best represents the new function? (a) f(x) = (3)^x + 11 (b) f(x) = (3)^x + 13 (c) f(x) = (3)^x -15 (d) f(x) = (3)^x - 13

4 and 5)16.97 or 12√2

6)15.59 or 9√3

7)y = 15.59 or 9√3     x =27

8)17.80

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
