(2 points) (a) The graph of y = f(x + 5) is the graph of y = f(x) shifted horizontally
left 5 units
and
shifted vertically no vertical shift
(b) The graph of y = f(x) + 1 is the graph of y = f(x)
shifted horizontally
no horizontal shift
shifted vertically
choose the shifting amount
and

shifted horizontally
choose the shifting amount 4 and
shifted vertically
choose the shifting amount
(d) The graph of y = f(x + 3) + 2 is the graph of y = f(x)
shifted horizontally
choose the shifting amount and
shifted vertically choose the shifting amount

The federal reserve controls certain interest rates in the united states. investors often try to speculate as to whether the federal reserve will raise or lower rates and by how much. suppose a company conducts extensive interviews with financial analysts, and as a result, predicts that "thefed" will increase rates by an average of 0.25 percentage points every six months for the forseeable future. which type of equation could be used to model the predicted interest rates over the next several years, assuming no other significant changes? a) a linear equation b) a quadratic equation c) a polynomial equation d) an exponential equation
