Answer: g(x) = (-2/3)*x^2</h3>
============================================
Work Shown:
f(x) = x^2
g(x) = a*f(x) for some constant 'a' since g(x) is a scaled version of f(x).
The value of 'a' vertically stretches f(x) upward if a > 0
If 'a' is negative, then we have a reflection going on as shown in the diagram.
We want (x,y) = (3,-6) to be on the graph of g(x). This means g(3) = -6
If we plugged x = 3 into f(x), we get
f(x) = x^2
f(3) = 3^2
f(3) = 9
So,
g(x) = a*f(x)
g(3) = a*f(3) ... replace x with 3
g(3) = a*9 ... replace f(3) with 9 since f(3) = 9
-6 = a*9 ... replace g(3) with -6 since g(-3) = -6
9a = -6
a = -6/9
a = -2/3
Therefore, this means
g(x) = a*f(x)
g(x) = (-2/3)*f(x)
g(x) = (-2/3)*x^2
Answer:
x = 6(x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
His age now is x.
His age 2 years ago was x - 2.
x = 6(x - 2)
She can make 40 baskets in 5 hours because in 1 hour she can make 8 so 8 times 5 is 40
Answer:
h = 19.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
A 20 ft ladder 4ft from the base of the wall.
The height of the ladder, H = 20 ft
The base distance, b = 4 ft
We need to find the height of the reach. Let it is P.
Using Pythagoras theorem,
or
P = 19.6 ft
So, the height is 19.6 ft.
Step-by-step answer:
For relatively small denominators, the easiest way is to multiply the two denominators AND divide by the highest common factor (HCF).
For example, adding 5/24+3/16
24*16 = 384
(use a calculator if necessary, for mental calculation, 24*16=20^2-4^2=400-16=384 ).
The highest common factor (HCF) is 8, since 24/8=3, 16/8=2, 3 and 2 do not have any more common factors, so it is the HCF.
The lowest common multiple (LCM) is then 384/8 = 48
For someone good at factoring, we see that the factors are:
24={2^3,3}
16={2^4} = {2^3,2}
so the LCM is either 16*3=48, or 24*2=48.
