nothing can be further simplify in this problem
Well, just by looking at the beginning of the problem, Jamelia had made the common mistake of thinking that

(<span>8.4852...)
</span>is equal to

(12)
If you want to estimate a square root like 72, simply find squares that would fit around the number you are looking to find, in our case, 72.
So 9*9 is 81, which is too high and 8*8 is 64, which is too low. So you know that somewhere between those numbers is what your root of 72 is!
Answer:
D. 
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a translation 1 point up along the y axis and a compression of 4.
Moving a function up (let's use <em>h</em> for the amount of points up) would change the function as so:

Meanwhile, the compression would modify x in this case. You can eliminate any answers (A. and B.) that have no modification to x, and eliminate C., as a fraction modification would actually widen the graph instead of compress it.
Hope this helps! :]
