In the question, it is given that A is (1,5).
It is required to determine the location of A′ when A is rotated 90∘ clockwise.
To solve this, multiply the x-value with −1 and switch it with the y-coordinate to get the location of A′.
Multiply the x-coordinate of the point A(1,5) with −1 and simplify using mathematical operations.
A(1⋅(−1),5)=A(−1,5)
Switch the x-value of the point A(−1,5) with the y-coordinate to get the location of A′.
A(−1,5)=A′(5,−1)
The location of A′ when A(1,5) is rotated 90∘ clockwise is A′(5,−1).

Subtract the x-coordinate of the point A(1,5) by 1 and simplify using subtraction operations.
A(1−1,5)=A′(0,5)
The location of A′ when A(1,5) is translated 1 unit left is A′(0,5).
Page 4 Problem 3 Answer
In the question, it is given that A is (1,5).
It is required to determine the location of A′ when A is reflected across the x-axis.
To solve this, multiply the y-value with −1 and simplify to get the location of A′.
When the point is reflected across the x-axis, the y-coordinate will become negative and the x-coordinate will remain the same.
Multiply the y-coordinate of the point A(1,5) with −1 and simplify using mathematical operations.
A(1,5⋅(−1))=A′(1,−5)
The location of A′ when A(1,5) is reflected across the x-axis is A′(1,−5).

To solve this, insert the end point values of the domain in the function and analyze the result.
Earlier the domain of the function f(x)=3/4x+2 was [−4,4].
Calculate the f(x) for the endpoints of domain.
Substitute x=−4 in function f(x) and simplify using the division and addition properties.

In the question it is given that on a moving walkway one is carried 25 feet every 15sec for 1min.
It is required to write a function to model the situation and determine domain, range and plot the graph.
To solve this, model the function using distance in terms of time to form a linear function, then obtain the domain and range. Plot the graph using the obtained domain and range.
The function modelling the distance in terms of time is a linear function:
d(t)=mt+n
Since at time t=0, the distance will be zero, simplify using simple addition properties to find n:
d(0)=0
0+n=0
n=0
The rate mcan be computed as m=d/t where d is 25feet and t is 15sec
Substitute the respective values in the equation for rate and simplify using simple division.
m=d/t
m=25/15
m=5/3
Substituting the value of min the linear function of time d(t)=5/3t
For the domain, use the time interval in seconds.
t=1min
t=60sec
The domain: {t∣0⩽t⩽60}=[0,60]
For the range, it is the distance for the given time interval:
For t=0
d(0)=0
Similarly for t=60
d(60)=100
The range: {d∣0⩽d⩽100}=[0,100]
Plot the graph with the interval {t∣0⩽t⩽60}=[0,60]and {d∣0⩽d⩽100}=[0,100]
The function is d(t)=5/3t, the domain for the function is {t∣0⩽t⩽60}=[0,60] and range is {d∣0⩽d⩽100}=[0,100].

In the question, it is given that a building is 90 metres above ground and an elevator starts at a floor, and descends 2 metres every 0.5 seconds for 6 seconds.
The below diagram has been given:
It is required to write a function modelling the situation and draw the function’s graph after stating its domain.
It is also required to identify the function’s range using inequality.
To solve this, use the given data to write a function that models the situation. Find the domain and draw the graph using the domain.
Determine the function’s range from the graph.
The elevator travels at 2 metres every 0.5 seconds, or 4 metres every second.
Let t be the total time the elevator descends. The total distance f(t) travelled by the elevator descending from 90 metres can be written as:
f(t)=90−4t
Since the total time travelled by the elevator has been given as 6seconds, the function’s domain is 0≤t≤6.
Substitute t as 6 in the equation f(t)=90−4t and simplify using mathematical operations to determine the range.
f(t)=90−4⋅6
=90−24
=66
Hence, the range of the function is 66≤f(t)≤90.
Draw the function’s f(t)=90−4t graph in the domain 0≤t≤6.
The given situation can be written as the function’s f(t)=90−4t with the domain 0≤t≤6 and range 66≤f(t)≤90.

It is given in the question that the height from the bridge deck to the top of the tower, where a cable is anchored is 500 feet, and the length of the cable is 1200 feet.
It is required to sketch the cable on a coordinate plane, where x-axis represents the bridge deck and y-axis represents the tower.
It is required to write the linear function for the model graph and identify the domain and range, writing each as an inequality, using set notation, and using interval notation.
To solve this, draw a graph where x axis represents the bridge deck and y-axis represents the tower.
Find the coordinates of the end points where the cables are attached using the Pythagoras theorem.
Write the linear function for the cable line obtained and identify the domain and range of the function.
Draw the graph for the required situation and mark the points accordingly.
Use the Pythagoras theorem to get the distance OB.
It is given that OA=500and ABthe length of the cable is 1200.
According to Pythagoras theorem,OA2+OB2=AB2
Subtract OA2 from both the sides and simplify the equation OA2+OB2=AB2,
OB2=AB2−OA2
Square root each sides of the equation OB2=AB2−OA2,
OB=√AB2−OA2
Substitute the value of OA=500 and AB=1200 in the equation OB=√AB2−OA2,
OB=√(1200)2−(500)2
Square the terms within the bracket in the equation OB=√(1200)2−(500)2, and simplify using the subtraction properties.

OB=√1190000
OB=1090.87
OB≈1091
Determine the coordinates of points A and B.
It is known that OA=500 and OB=1091 .
So the coordinates of points A and B are,A(0,500) B(1091,0)
Write the equation for the line AB using the coordinates of points A and B.
The equation of a line with two known points is,
y−y1=y2−y1
x2−x1
(x−x1) where, x, y are the variables and (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points on the line.
Let point A be (x1,y1) and point B be (x2,y2).
Substitute the value A(0,500) and B(1091,0) in the equation of line, y−y1
=y2−y1/x2−x1(x−x1)
y−500=0−500/1091−0(x−0)
Add 500 on both sides of the equation y−500=0−500/1091−0
(x−0), and simplify using the addition property.
y=0−500/1091−0
(x−0)+500
y=−500/1091
x+500
Thus, the linear equation of line is y=−500
1091
x+500

y=−500/1091
x+500, and simplify using addition properties.
y=−500/1091
x+500
y=−500/1091
(0)+500
y=500
Put x=1091in the equation y=−500/1091 x+500, and simplify using addition properties.
y=−500/1091
x+500
y=−500/1091 (1091)+500
y=−500+500
y=0
Therefore, the range of function is0⩽y⩽500.
