Which describes the effect of the transformations on the graph of ƒ(x) = x2 when changed to ƒ(x) = 3(x + 2)2 − 4?
A) stretched vertically, shifted left 2 units, and shifted down 4 units
B) stretched vertically, shifted right 2 units, and shifted up 4 units
C) compressed vertically, shifted left 2 units, and shifted down 4 units
Eliminate
D) compressed vertically, shifted right 2 units, and shifted up 4 units
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles with the same shape but different size are proportional. Proportional means that their side lengths form equal ratios. To solve for x, set up a proportion.
The ratios we will create will be
where each long and short are corresponding sides from each triangle.
So write:

To solve, cross multiply numerator with denominator.
4(2.25) = 3(x)
9 = 3x
3 =x
