Algebra 2, please help! thank you The function y = 2 cos 3(x + 2π∕3) +1 has a phase shift (or horizontal shift) of

A) –2π∕3
B) 3
C) 1
D) 2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard cosine function has the form:

Where |a| is the amplitude, 2π / b is the period, c is the phase shift, and d is the vertical shift.

We have the function:

We can rewrite this as:

Therefore, a = 2, b = 3, c = -2π/3, and d = 1.

Our phase shift is represented by c. Thus, the phase shift is -2π/3.

Our answer is A.

8

step-by-step explanation:

this is a subtraction problem.

10 - 2 = 8

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
