Nathan is organizing textbooks on his bookshelf. He has a Spanish textbook, a math textbook, and a history textbook. How many different ways can he line the textbooks

up on his bookshelf?

6 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Books: Spanish, Maths and History textbooks (1 each)

Required

Determine the number of arrangements

In total, Nathan has 3 books.

The number of arrangements (n) is as follows:

The first book can be lined in 3 ways

The second book can be lined in 2 ways

The third book can be lined in 1 way

So,

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1

answer: translate the circles so they share a common center point and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3.
