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.

The graph of a rational function has local maxima at (-1,0) and (8,0). The complex number 2+3i is a zero of the function. What i
Aneli [31]
Any polynomial's graph cannot have two simultaneous maxima, so they must contain a minima between them. Thus, the total number of turning points of the graph is 3. Generally, when plotting a polynomial, the number of turning points is:
n = d -1; where d is the degree of the polynomial and n is the number of turning points. Thus, this function's degree must be at least 4. The answer is b.

Grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height. how high
bezimeni [28]

Given that grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height.

So if D is the diameter and h is the height of the conical pile then we can write:


D=3h

We know that diameter = 2r, where r is the radius

2r=3h

r=\frac{3h}{2}

Volume of conical pile is given by formula

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Given that volume is 1110 cubic feet.

Now plug the values of Volume and r into equation of volume

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{3h}{2})^2h

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot\frac{9h^2}{4}\cdot h

1110=\pi\cdot\frac{3h^3}{4}

1110\cdot\frac{4}{3\pi}=h^3

471.098631552=h^3

take cube root of both sides

7.78103342467=h

Hence height is approx 7.78 feet.

Which inequality has a dashed boundary line when graphed? A y>=3/5x+1 B y>= -1/3x+1 C y>3x+1
Ket [755]

Answer: C y>3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When we graph an  inequality with strictly greater of less than sign ('<' or '>'), then the graph has a dashed boundary line .
  • Further it indicates that it does not include the points on the line.

From all the given options , only C contains inequality with '>' sign .

Hence, y>3x+1 is the inequality has a dashed boundary line when graphed.

hence, the correct option is C.
