Answer:

$y=3*2^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A vertical stretch of a function means the output values have changed by a factor of 3 or multiplication by 3. Recall, an exponential function has the basic form

$y=ab^{2}$ .

If our equation is $f(x)=2^x$ , then a=1. To stretch it vertically by a factor of 3, we multiply a by 3. So 1(3)=3. The value of a now becomes 3.

$y=3*2^{x}$

Bao is mixing flour and water to make dough the graph shows how much water he uses for different amounts of flour .How many lite

Allushta [10]

To know how many liters of water Bao use per liter of flour we have to divide the liters or flour so:

$\frac{1}{3}=0.33$

So Bao uses 0.33 or 1/3 of water per liter or flour

and to know hoy manu liters of flour Bao use per liter of water we have to made the oposite division so:

$\frac{3}{1}=3$

She use 3 liters of flour per liter of water

A flying carpet flies 2.4 miles with the wind in the same amount of time it flies 1.4 miles against the wind. The wind speed is

Ainat [17]

Answer:

$15.2~mph$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time flown by the flying carpet be $t$ . Then, we have that $(2.4)/t=(1.4)/t+2*4$ .

We multiply both sides of the equation by $t$ to get $2.4=1.4+8t$ .

We subtract $1.4$ from both sides to get $1=8t$ .

We divide both sides of the equation by $t=1/8$ .

We know that the speed of the flying carpet in still wind is the average of the rates of the speed of the flying carpet with the wind and against the wind.

The speed with wind is $(2.4)/(1/8)=19.2$ mph.
