Answer:
The period of the sine curve is the length of one cycle of the curve. The natural period of the sine curve is 2π. So, a coefficient of b=1 is equivalent to a period of 2π. To get the period of the sine curve for any coefficient b, just divide 2π by the coefficient b to get the new period of the curve.
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine that this curve is a roller coaster. A dot on the roller coaster would be a car for a person to sit in, so to speak. As this car moves to the right, the car ultimately moves downward. So this means that as x gets larger, y gets smaller. Put another way: as x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.
Similarly, we can move the other way to work our way to the left. Moving to the left has us go up this time. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity
These two facts point to choice B as the final answer
Step-by-step explanation:
perpendicular means to cross at a right angle (90 degrees).
so, any line perpendicular to the x-axis is parallel to the y-axis.
and any line parallel to the y-axis has only a defining x value. all points on that line have the same x value (while any value for y from -infinity to +infinity is valid).
the y-axis itself is
x = 0
the specified point here has an x value of 4.
so, the line we are looking for is
x = 4
to point out : this is NOT a function, because for the same x value we get more than 1 valid y values.
The parent function for quadratic equations is as followed:

where a for vertical stretches, b is for horizontal stretches, h is the x value of the vertex, and k is the y value of the vertex.
The vertex of the is (-3, -2), so we can write the first part of the equation:

To determine if the graph has any stretches, we can check how changes to the x coordinate affect the y value. If there are no stretches, as the x coordinate moves away from the vertex, the y coordinate should be x^2 from the vertex. If we test with a couple points on the graph, wee see that this is true, so there are no stretches. The answer is:
