<em>Answer</em>
a. Vertical shrink by a factor of 1/3
<em>Step-by-step explanation</em>
Function transformation
• a,f(x) vertically compresses f(x) when 0 < a < 1
Given the function:

Multiplying f(x) by a = 1/3, we get:

Then, f(x) is vertically shrunk by a factor of 1/3
I'm not completely sure, but this should be exponential growth.
If so, the equation for exponential growth is: y = a(1 + r)^t
If I substitute them with the information you gave me, then is would look like this:
y = 281.4(1 + 0.02)^t
**t = is the number of years after 2000 (based on your question)**

Answer:
3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It is because 3 times 18 is 54 and 3 is 15 less than 18
I think it’s 15.75. Because: 2•1.05=2.10. 5•1.05= 5.25. 20•1.05= 21.00. So, 15•1.05= 15.75.
