Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a horizontally stretched ellipse. That means that the horizontal line which is represented by the x-axis is the longer one. The equation for this type of ellipse is

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} +\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} =1$

In an ellipse, the a value is ALWAYS bigger than the b value, and since the x-axis represents the longer axis, the a goes under the x-squared term.

To solve for the h, the k, the a, and the b, we simply have to do some counting. The center of the ellipse, the (h, k) our of equation, is sitting at (4, 6). Put them where they belong in the equation. The a axis (the horizontal one) is 8 units long, and the b axis (the vertical one) is 4 units long. Square both of them and put them where they belong in the equation:

$\frac{(x-4)^2}{64}+\frac{(y-6)^2}{16} =1$

There you go!

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The equation of function g(x) in terms of f(x) is g(x) = -3[f(x)].

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

The given graph is the graph of an exponential function, the general equation of an exponential function is given by the y=aeᵇˣ. To get the function f(x) and g(x), you need to substitute the points in the given function and produce the equation of each function.

The equation for f(x) from the given graph can be written as,

$f(x)=e^{(\ln2)x}-2$
