We have been given the expression
We can rewrite the expression as
In order to simplify the given expression, we can check if we have any common terms in the numerator and denominator.
We can write the term 72 which is in the numerator as
Thus, the expression becomes
We can see that 4 is common in both numerator and denominator. Hence, we can cancel 4. Thus, we are left with
Therefore, we can rewrite the given expression as 54.
Answer:
Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) =
Transformed form of the function 'f' is 'g'.
g(x) =
Property of vertical stretch or compression of a function,
k(x) = x
Transformed function → m(x) = kx
Here, k = scale factor
1). If k > 1, function is vertically stretched.
2). If 0 < k < 1, function is vertically compressed.
From the given functions, k =
Since, k is between 0 and , function f(x) is vertically compressed by a scale factor
.
g(x) = f(x + 4) represents a shift of function 'f' by 4 units left.
g(x) = f(x - 4) represents a shift of function 'f' by 4 units right.
g(x) =
Therefore, function f(x) has been shifted by 4 units left to form image function g(x).
Option D is the answer.
