The first thing we should do is to multiply 50 and 13 3/4 13 3/4 is equivalent to 13.75 . So, we then multiply 50 x 13.75 and we get 687.50. so, $687.50 was the amount spent on the stock. Now, lets find out how much they sold them for: What we do is multiply 12 and 50 50 x 12 would be 600 We can find out the loss by subtracting $687.50 - $600 and that gives us $ 87.50. Therefore, $87.50 is your answer :)
Here the list of the transformations applied to the parent function, and their effect:
. This causes a horizontal compression of factor 4.
. This causes a horizontal translation, 3 units to the left.
. This causes a reflection about the x axis.
. This causes a vertical translation, 3 units up
So, if you start from the graph of , you have to compress and translate it horizontally, flip it with respect to the x axis, and finally move it up 3 units.
