Which of the following shows the situation below in function notation? ?

The phrase is "The time it takes to read a book depends on the number of pages in the book"

so the time is the dependent variable and the pages are the independent variable.

Then you will have a function of the form Time(pages) in which you introduce a number of pages (the total number of pages in a book, in this case) and returns the time it takes to read them all. So the correct answer is A.

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
