Question

the time it takes natalie to replace \\(x\\) cell phone screens is given by the equation \\(t = 1 + 3x\\), where \\(t\\) gives the time in hours. how many hours would it take natalie to replace 8 screens?

a) 25
b) 4
c) 22
d) 24

question 2 (5 points)
given the function \\(f(x) = \sqrt{x}\\) and the function \\(g(x) = \sqrt{x} - 4\\), what does the -4 do to the graph of \\(f(x)\\) to get the graph of \\(g(x)\\)?

a) translates the graph to the left by 4 units
b) translates the graph 4 units downward
c) translates the graph to the right by 4 units
d) translates the graph 4 units upward

Evaluate the linear model for Question 1

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &t = 1 + 3x \\ &x = 8 \\ &t = 1 + 3(8) = 1 + 24 = 25 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Analyze the function transformation for Question 2

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &f(x) = \sqrt{x} \\ &g(x) = \sqrt{x} - 4 = f(x) - 4 \end{aligned}$$

\]
Subtracting 4 from the output of a function shifts its graph vertically downward by 4 units.
