Naddik [55]3 years ago

Answer:

The equation of the new function is g(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a function f(x).

a*f(x), a > 1, is vertically stretching f(x) a units. Otherwise, if a < 1, we are vertically compressing f(x) by a units.

f(x - a) is shifting f(x) a units to the right.

f(x + a) is shifting f(x) a units to the left

In this question:

f(x) = \sqrt{x}

Vertically compressing by 1/2:

This is the same as multiplying the function by 1/2. So

\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{x} = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}

The equation of the new function is g(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}

Consider the equation 30÷x=6.
8090 [49]
Part A : 30 - x - x - x - x - x - x = 0

^ since 30 divided by 5 is 6, that answer is the same as doing 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5

- pls comment & correct me if i did smth wrong :’)

b -2 = 0
  +2    +2

b = 2

Now we have our answer, b = 2

Final answer: b = 2
