Functions A and C and D are translations - this means that they are exactly the same shape as f(x), but are displaced on the axes. A translation in the y-direction by k units is represented by f(x) + k, and a translation in the x-direction by k units is represented by f(x - k). This can be summarised in column vector notation:

A translation of the graph y = f(x), by the vector \left[\begin{array}{ccc}a\\b\end{array}\right] results in the graph defined by y - b = f(x - a). This is done by replacing x with (x - a) and y with (y - b). Finally it is rearranged to make y the subject, as is often the convention: y = f(x - a) + b.

Since the graph needs to change shape, this requires a 'stretch'. A stretch is performed by multiplying x or y by a constant, which here is k.

To stretch in the x-direction by a factor n, replace x with (1/n)x. Similarly to stretch in the y-direction by a factor n, replace y with (1/n)y.

For example to stretch y = f(x) by factor n in the x-direction, it would become y = f((1/n)x).

A simple quadratic graph like y = x^2 behaves slightly differently to most other graphs, in that it can narrowed by a stretch in the x or y direction. This means that a more convenient option is to perform a stretch in the y direction, since the multiplier lies outside the function notation. The stretching factor is 3, so we replace y with (1/3)y:

(1/3)y = f(x)
y = 3f(x)

Since k = 3, this becomes

y = kf(x)

... and hence the correct answer is B

Write two equivalent expressions that represent the rectangular array below.
Ainat [17]
Area formula for rectangles: L x W

Answer: 3 x 2a + 3 x 5 = 3 x 2a x 5

You know that the expressions are equivalent, because when you solve for a you get a = 5/8 or 0.625
