Example Solving for a variable Linear equations Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
We're almost there. We've almost solved for W. To finish it up, we just have to divide both sides of this equation by 2. And the whole reason why I'm dividing both sides of this equation by 2 is to get rid of this 2 coefficient. This 2 that's multiplying W. So if you divide both sides of this equation by 2, once again,...

f of 4 is right over here. g of 4 is one more than that. f of 6 is right here. g of 6 is one more than that.

But if you look at vertical distance, you see that it stays a constant. It stays a constant 1. So we can actually generalize this. This is true for any x. g of x is equal to f of x plus 1. Let's do a few more examples of this. So right over here, here is f of x in red again. And here is g of x.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
This is true for any x. g of x is equal to f of x plus 1. Let's do a few more examples of this. So right over here, here is f of x in red again. And here is g of x. And so let's say we picked x equals negative 4. This is f of negative 4. And we see g of negative 4 is 2 less than that.

So in this case, very similar to the other one, g of x is going to be equal to f of x. But instead of adding, we're going to subtract 2 from f of x. f of x minus 2. Let's do a few more examples. So here we have f of x in red again. I'll relabel it. f of x. And here is g of x.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
So here we have f of x in red again. I'll relabel it. f of x. And here is g of x. So let's think about it a little bit. Let's pick an arbitrary point here. Let's say we have in red here, this point right over there is the value of f of 3.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
And here is g of x. So let's think about it a little bit. Let's pick an arbitrary point here. Let's say we have in red here, this point right over there is the value of f of 3. So that, or f of negative 3, I should say. This is negative 3. This is the point negative 3, f of 3.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
Let's say we have in red here, this point right over there is the value of f of 3. So that, or f of negative 3, I should say. This is negative 3. This is the point negative 3, f of 3. So negative 3, f of 3. Now g hits that same value when x is equal to negative 1. When x is equal to negative 1.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
This is the point negative 3, f of 3. So negative 3, f of 3. Now g hits that same value when x is equal to negative 1. When x is equal to negative 1. So let's think about this. g of negative 1 is equal to f of negative 3. f of negative 3 is equal to f of negative 3. And we could do that with a bunch of points.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
When x is equal to negative 1. So let's think about this. g of negative 1 is equal to f of negative 3. f of negative 3 is equal to f of negative 3. And we could do that with a bunch of points. We could see that g of 0, which is right there. Let me do it in a color you can see. g of 0 is equivalent to f of negative 2.

And we could do that with a bunch of points. We could see that g of 0, which is right there. Let me do it in a color you can see. g of 0 is equivalent to f of negative 2. So let me write that down. g of 0 is equal to f of negative 2. We could keep doing that.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
g of 0 is equivalent to f of negative 2. So let me write that down. g of 0 is equal to f of negative 2. We could keep doing that. We could say g of 1, which is right over here. This is 1. g of 1 is equal to f of negative 1. g of 1 is equal to f of negative 1. So I think you see the pattern here.

We could keep doing that. We could say g of 1, which is right over here. This is 1. g of 1 is equal to f of negative 1. g of 1 is equal to f of negative 1.

So I think you see the pattern here. g of whatever is equal to the function evaluated at 2 less than whatever is here. So we could say that g of x is equal to f of, well, it's going to be 2 less than x. So f of x minus 2. So this is the relationship. g of x is equal to f of x minus 2. It's important to realize here, wh...

Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
Now let's think about this one. This one seems kind of wacky. So first of all, g of x, it almost looks like a mirror image, but it looks like it's been flattened out. So let's think of it this way. Let's take the mirror image of what g of x is. So I'm going to try my best to take the mirror image of it. So let's see.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
So let's think of it this way. Let's take the mirror image of what g of x is. So I'm going to try my best to take the mirror image of it. So let's see. It gets to about 2 there. Then it gets pretty close to 1 right over there. And then it gets about right over there.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
So let's see. It gets to about 2 there. Then it gets pretty close to 1 right over there. And then it gets about right over there. So if I were to take its mirror image, it looks something like this. Its mirror image, if I were to reflect it across the x-axis, it looks something like this. It looks something like this.
Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
And then it gets about right over there. So if I were to take its mirror image, it looks something like this.

Shifting & reflecting functions Algebra II High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
You get positive 3 and 1 half if you were to take the exact mirror image. So that's negative g of x. But that still doesn't get us there.

All right, complete the following sentence about the daily percent change in the mass of the sunfish. Every day there is a blank percent addition or removal from the mass of the sunfish. So one thing that we know almost from the get-go, we know that the sunfish gains weight. And we also see that as t grows, as t grows,...

And we also see that as t grows, as t grows, the exponent here is going to grow. And if you grow an exponent on something that is larger than one, m of t is going to grow. So I already know it's going to be about addition to the mass of the sunfish. But let's think about how much is added every day. Well, let's think a...

So t and m of t. So based on how I've just written it, when t is zero, well, if t is zero, this is one, so then we just have our initial mass is going to be 1.35 to the fifth power. And then when t is equal to one, when t is equal to one, it's gonna be our initial mass, 1.35 to the fifth power times our common ratio, t...

So 1.35 to the, to the, open parentheses, one divided by six, close parentheses, power is equal to 1.05, I'll say 1.051 approximately. So this is approximately 1.051. So we could say this is approximately 1.35 times 1.051 to the t-th power. So every day, we are growing by a factor of 1.051. Well, growing by a factor of...
