Answer:

Option D is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are two graphs. The first one is given as

$f(x) = log_{2} x\\$

The second one equation we have to find out.

Option A given as

$g(x) =\frac{1}{2} log_{2} x$ is having x intercept as

(0,1/2). But our g(x) has x intercept as 1. Hence not correct.

Option B: $g(x) = log_{2} \frac{1}{2} x$

This has x intercept as (0,2). Since does not match with g(x) not correct

OPtion C:

$g(x) = log_{2} 2x$

Here x intercept = 1 matches with ours.

Also g(2) = 2, twice as that of original f(x)

Hence option C is not right

Option D is only right because x intercept should be 1 and also when x=4 y=2(log 4 to base 2)

Answer:

Second choice:

$x=2t$

$y=4t^2+4t-3$

Fifth choice:

$x=t+1$

$y=t^2+4t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at choice 1.

$x=t+1$

$y=t^2+2t$

I'm going to subtract 1 on both sides for the first equation giving me $x-1=t$ . I will replace the $t$ in the second equation with this substitution from equation 1.

$y=(x-1)^2+2(x-1)$

Expand using the distributive property and the identity $(u+v)^2=u^2+2uv+v^2$ :

$y=(x^2-2x+1)+(2x-2)$

$y=x^2+(-2x+2x)+(1-2)$

$y=x^2+0+-1$

$y=x^2$

So this not the desired result.

Let's look at choice 2.

$x=2t$

$y=4t^2+4t-3$

Solve the first equation for $t$ by dividing both sides by 2:

$t=\frac{x}{2}$ .

Let's plug this into equation 2:

$y=4(\frac{x}{2})^2+4(\frac{x}{2})-3$

$y=4(\frac{x^2}{4})+2x-3$

$y=x^2+2x-3$

This is the desired result.

Choice 3:

$x=t-3$

$y=t^2+2t$

Solve the first equation for $t$ by adding 3 on both sides:

$x+3=t$ .

Plug into second equation:

$y=(x+3)^2+2(x+3)$

Expanding using the distributive property and the earlier identity mentioned to expand the binomial square:

$y=(x^2+6x+9)+(2x+6)$

$y=(x^2)+(6x+2x)+(9+6)$

$y=x^2+8x+15$

Not the desired result.

Choice 4:

$x=t^2$

$y=2t-3$

I'm going to solve the bottom equation for $t$ since I don't want to deal with square roots.

Add 3 on both sides:

$y+3=2t$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{y+3}{2}=t$

Plug into equation 1:

$x=(\frac{y+3}{2})^2$

This is not the desired result because the $y$ variable will be squared now instead of the $x$ variable.

Choice 5:

$x=t+1$

$y=t^2+4t$

Solve the first equation for $t$ by subtracting 1 on both sides:

$x-1=t$ .

Plug into equation 2:

$y=(x-1)^2+4(x-1)$

Distribute and use the binomial square identity used earlier:

$y=(x^2-2x+1)+(4x-4)$

$y=(x^2)+(-2x+4x)+(1-4)$

$y=x^2+2x+-3$

$y=x^2+2x-3$ .

This is the desired result.
