Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of

f(x) = -5(x + 8)^2 + 9

into the graph of

g(x) = -5(x + 8)^2 + 1

?

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A) translation

8

units left

\newline

(B) translation

8

units up

\newline

(C) translation

8

units down

\newline

(D) translation

8

units right

Identify vertex function: Identify the vertex of the function $f(x)$ . The function $f(x) = -5(x + 8)^2 + 9$ is already in vertex form, which is $y = a(x - h)^2 + k$ , where $(h, k)$ is the vertex of the parabola. For $f(x)$ , the vertex is $(-8, 9)$ .
Identify vertex function: Identify the vertex of the function $g(x)$ . The function $g(x) = -5(x + 8)^2 + 1$ is also in vertex form. For $g(x)$ , the vertex is $(-8, 1)$ .
Determine transformation type: Determine the type of transformation. $\newline$ Comparing the vertices of $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ , we see that the $x$ -coordinate has not changed, so there is no horizontal transformation. $\newline$ The $y$ -coordinate has changed from $9$ to $1$ , which indicates a vertical transformation.
Determine direction magnitude: Determine the direction and magnitude of the vertical transformation. $\newline$ The $y$ -coordinate of the vertex of $f(x)$ is $9$ , and the $y$ -coordinate of the vertex of $g(x)$ is $1$ . $\newline$ To go from $9$ to $1$ , we subtract $8$ , which means the graph has moved $8$ units down.
Match transformation choices: Match the transformation to the given choices. $\newline$ The graph has moved $8$ units down, which corresponds to choice (C) translation $8$ units down.

Question

Tess tried to solve the differential equation

\frac{d y}{d x}=2 x y-6 x

. This is her work:

\newline

\frac{d y}{d x}=2 x y-6 x

\newline

1

\quad \frac{d y}{d x}=(y-3) 2 x

\newline

2

\quad \int \frac{1}{y-3} d y=\int 2 x d x

\newline

3

\quad \ln |y-3|=x^{2}+C_{1}

\newline

4

\quad e^{\ln |y-3|}=e^{x^{2}}+C_{1}

\newline

5

\quad|y-3|=e^{x^{2}}+C_{1}

\newline

6

\quad y-3= \pm e^{x^{2}}+C_{2}

\newline

7

\quad y= \pm e^{x^{2}}+C

\newline

Is Tess's work correct? If not, what is her mistake?

\newline

1

\newline

(A) Tess's work is correct.
