The graph is a transformation of one of the basic functions. find the equation that defines the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the graph shown is a transformation of the parent function

The main function cuts the x-axis at x = 0 and has no negative values of y. In addition, the main function is always growing.

Note that the function shown is decreasing and intercepts the y-axis at y = 5.

Therefore, the graph of the main function has been reflected on the x-axis and displaced 5 units upwards.

If we do y = f(x) then to reflect the main function on the  x-axis and move it upwards 5 units we make the following transformation

.

Then the graphed function is:

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
