Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
These are transformations. One thing to remember is that only a sign change (like a negative sign on the new function) will change the direction in which the parabola opens.
Here, going from f(x) to 1/2 * f(x) has no sign change, so the parabola will open in the same direction as before. Eliminate A and C.
Vertical transformations are those that are done to the entire function, as opposed to horizontal transformations which are done only on the x. Here, since we're multiplying 1/2 to f(x), we have a vertical transformation.
There are different transformations. The one here would be a vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2. Vertically shrinking a function is basically the same as compressing it, which would make it wider.
The answer is thus D.
First of all let's rearrange the equation for the given line:
4x + 7y + 3 = 0
7y = -4x - 3
y = (-4/7)x - 3/7
Now we know that the gradient of the line is -4/7
The gradients of two perpendicular lines multiply by each other to give -1, ie.
(-4/7)*m = -1
m = -1/(-4/7)
= 7/4, therefor the gradient of the perpendicular line is 7/4
Now we can substitute this and the point (-2, 1) into the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 1 = 7/4(x - (-2))
y = 7/4x + 7/2 + 1
y = 7/4x + 9/2
If we look at the given answers then C is correct, since 9/2 = 18/4 and so the equation may also be written as y = 7/4x + 18/4
First of all, we need to know what a function is.
A function is a binary relation between two sets that
Knowing it has to be perpendicular, the slope of the new line has to be -2.
y = -2x + b
Plug the coordinate pair into the equation.
10 = -2(7) + b
10 = -14 + b
24 = b
So the final equation for the line is...
y = -2x + 24
1000^6 = (10^3)^6 = 10^18 --- that is "1" and 18 "zeros" behind.
