The function
gives the height
of a ball (in meters) thrown upward from the ground after
seconds. Suppose the ball was instead thrown from the top of a 10-m building. Relate this new height function
to
and then find a formula for
We just saw that the vertical shift is a change to the output, or outside, of the function. We will now look at how changes to input, on the inside of the function, change its graph and meaning. A shift to the input results in a movement of the graph of the function left or right in what is known as a
horizontal shift , shown in
[link] .
For example, if
then
is a new function. Each input is reduced by 2 prior to squaring the function. The result is that the graph is shifted 2 units to the right, because we would need to increase the prior input by 2 units to yield the same output value as given in
Horizontal shift
Given a function
a new function
where
is a constant, is a
horizontal shift of the function
If
is positive, the graph will shift right. If
is negative, the graph will shift left.
Adding a constant to an input
Returning to our building airflow example from
[link] , suppose that in autumn the facilities manager decides that the original venting plan starts too late, and wants to begin the entire venting program 2 hours earlier. Sketch a graph of the new function.
We can set
to be the original program and
to be the revised program.
In the new graph, at each time, the airflow is the same as the original function
was 2 hours later. For example, in the original function
the airflow starts to change at 8 a.m., whereas for the function
the airflow starts to change at 6 a.m. The comparable function values are
See
[link] . Notice also that the vents first opened to
at 10 a.m. under the original plan, while under the new plan the vents reach
at
8 a.m., so
In both cases, we see that, because
starts 2 hours sooner,
That means that the same output values are reached when
is it possible to leave every good at the same level

I don't think so. because check it, if the demand for chicken increases, people will no longer consume fish like they used to causing a fall in the demand for fish

is not really possible to let the value of a goods to be same at the same time.....

Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost
6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.
Good day
How do I calculate this question: C= 100+5yd G= 2000 T= 2000 I(planned)=200.
Suppose the actual output is 3000. What is the level of planned expenditures at this level of output?

money as unit of account means what?
Kalombe
A unit of account is something that can be used to value goods and services and make calculations

all of you please speak in English I can't understand you're language

I want to know how can we define macroeconomics in one line
Muhammad
it must be .9 or 0.9
no Mpc is greater than 1
Y=100+.9Y+50
Y-.9Y=150
0.1Y/0.1=150/0.1
Y=1500

hi can someone help me on this question
If a negative shocks shifts the IS curve to the left, what type of policy do you suggest so as to stabilize the level of output?
discuss your answer using appropriate graph.
