The parent function, Rx) = 5*, has been vertically compressed by a factor of one-half, shifted to the left three units and
1 answer:
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
For a vertical scale factor of 'b', and a translation by (h, k) in the (right, up) direction, the transformed function is ...
g(x) = b·f(x -h) +k
For a scale factor of 1/2 and translation left 3 and down 2, the transformed function is ...
g(x) = (1/2)f(x +3) -2
g(x) = (1/2)5^(x +3) =2 . . . . matches the 2nd choice

At heart we're being asked for a line through two points,
In general the line through (a,b) and (c,d) is
Check that you understand why both (a,b) and (c,d) are on this line.
Here our indepedent variable, instead of x, is T, temperature. Our dependent variable is v, velocity. Substituting,
That's our answer; let's check it.
When T=40, v = (5/9)40 + (2995/9) = 355 good
When T=49, v= (5/9)49 + (2995/9) = 360 good
