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.
Hello!
To solve this, find the cost of a single light bulb first, by dividing 9 / 5.
9 / 5 ==> 1.80
One light bulb is $1.80
Now, multiply 1.80 by 7.
1.80 * 7 = 12.6
7 light bulbs cost $12.6
Hope this helps! ☺♥
