Alex says that the function f(x) = (3x)2 represents a vertical stretch of the quadratic parent function by a factor of 3. Marta

says that it represents a horizontal compression by a factor of 1/3 . Decide whether one student is correct, both are correct, or neither is correct

Our parent function is f(x)=x^2. A vertical stretch by a factor of k means that every point (x,f(x)), has been transformed into (x,kf(x)). Alex is clearly incorrect as our parent function has been transformed to (x,9f(x)), not (x,3f(x)). A horizontal stretch(or compression) by a factor of k means our function has been transformed to (x/k,f(x)). Here, Marta is saying our function should look like (3x,f(x)). This can also be achieved by plugging 3x into the parent function, which would give us f(3x)=(3x)^2, so it seems that Marta is the correct one.

<h3>Answer: Choice C.  (-x, -y)</h3>

Explanation:

Focus on one point, such as A = (1,2). Note how it moves to point A ' = (-1, -2). Both x and y coordinates have been flipped from positive to negative. The rule therefore is (x,y) \to (-x,-y). This describes a 180 degree rotation (either clockwise or counterclockwise, it doesn't matter). Points B and C follow the same idea.

Side note: Lines AA', BB' and CC' all go through the origin (0,0).

A computer randomly selects a number from the given set. {2, 4, 6, 9, 16, 44, 51, 60, 78} What is the probability that a number
nekit [7.7K]
You would find the probability of getting an answer less than 10 by counting all of the possible outcomes, or numbers that are less than 10 and compare them to the total number of possible outcomes, or the total number of numbers. You would write the ratio of predicted outcomes to total possibilities.

The answer would be 4/9.

2/3 + 3/4 + 4/2. If a fraction appears in your answer, it should be in simplified form.
V125BC [204]
We must first make each fraction have a common denominator, this will be 12
2/3 * 4/4 = 8/12
3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12
4/2 * 6/6 = 24/12
we can then add the numerators of each fraction
8 + 9 + 24 = 41
so our answer is 41/12
we can not simplify any further and thus get
41/12
