Begin by graphing the absolute value function, \(f(x)=|x| .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ h(x)=2|x+4| $$
Find a linear equation in slope-intercept form that models the given description. Describe what each variable in your model represents. Then use the model to make a prediction. In \(1995,60 \%\) of U.S. adults read a newspaper and this percentage has decreased at a rate of \(0.7 \%\) per year since then.
Begin by graphing the square root function, \(f(x)=\sqrt{x} .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ g(x)=\sqrt{x+2} $$
Begin by graphing the square root function, \(f(x)=\sqrt{x} .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ h(x)=-\sqrt{x+2} $$
During a particular year, the taxes owed, \(T(x),\) in dollars, filing separately with an adjusted gross income of \(x\) dollars is given by the piecewise function $$ T(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll} 0.15 x & \text { if } 0 \leq x<17,900 \\ 0.28(x-17,900)+2685 & \text { if } 17,900 \leq x<43,250 \\ 0.31(x-43,250)+9783 & \text { if } x \geq 43,250 \end{array}\right. $$ In Exercises \(89-90,\) use this function to find and interpret each of the following. 90\. \(T(70,000)\)
