Multiply the equation 2x+2y=8 by 3. Does the equation have the same solution set?
1 answer:
Multiply the equation:
The solution set is the same, because multiplying both sides of an equation by a non-zero number doesn't change the solution set. In fact, if you rewrite the equation as
Multiplying this by 3 (or whatever number, for all it matters) gives
Now, a product is zero if and only if at least one of the factor is zero. So, either or
Since the first is clearly impossible, the second one must be true, which is the original equation.

C:
Step-by-step explanation:
Amplitude is changed by multiplying the entire trig function by a number, by default the amplitude is 1, so multiplying by 6 is necessary; eliminate A and B
Horizontal shift is going through the x axis, so it must be subtracted from the x value. This is only seen in choice C of the remaining answers.
Calculating the period isn't necessary because we already found the right answer but in case you need it in the future; the period is by default 2pi, to get to pi/4, it had to be 8 times smaller, so multiplying x and translations on x by 8 will get you the correct period.
