It will take him 120 mins as he runs 8 minute miles
The slope would be positive in this case
<span>(x^2-4x-6) factors into:</span>
(x -5.1623) (x+1.1623)
Therefore x = 5.1623 and x = -1.1623
(4x^2-8x-2) <span>factors into:
(x -2.2247) * (x +2.2474)
</span>
Therefore x = 2.2247 and x= -0.22474
A vertical stretching is the stretching of the graph away from the x-axis.
A vertical compression is the squeezing of the graph towards the x-axis.
A compression is a stretch by a factor less than 1.
For the parent function y = f(x), the vertical stretching or compression of the function is a f(x).
If | a | < 1 (a fraction between 0 and 1), then the graph is compressed vertically by a factor of a units.
If | a | > 1, then the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of a units.
For values of a that are negative, then the vertical compression or vertical stretching of the graph is followed by a reflection across the x-axis.
Thus, the equation with the widest graph is 0.3x^2.
