Answer:
( 2,1) is the center of dilation and -2 is the scale factor
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the formula
A' = k( x-a) +a, k( y-b)+b where ( a,b) is the center of dilation and k is the scale factor
(0,0) becomes (6,3)
( 6,3) = k( 0-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b
6 = -ka+a
3 = -kb+b
We also have
(4,0) becomes (-2,3)
( -2,3) = k( 4-a) +a, k( 0-b)+b
-2 =4k -ka+a
3 = -kb+b
Using these two equations
6 = -ka+a
-2 =4k -ka+a
Subtracting the top from the bottom
-2 =4k -ka+a
-6 = ka -a
-------------------
-8 = 4k
Divide by 4
-8/4 = 4k/4
-2 = k
Now solving for a
6 = -ka +a
6 = - (-2)a +a
6 = 2a+a
6 = 3a
Divide by 3
6/3 =3a/3
2=a
Now finding b
3 = -kb+b
3 = -(-2)b+b
3 = 2b+b
3 = 3b
b=1
The piecewise function is basically the result of two different functions combined together. If x is 0 or larger, then h(x) = x+4. Otherwise, if x < 0, then h(x) = -x-4
No matter what number you pick for x, the h(x) function will be used in some way. So the domain is the set of all real numbers. To write this in interval notation, we write 
which means we start off at negative infinity and go to positive infinity. This is basically saying "the entire real number line". Since we can't actually reach either infinity, we always use parenthesis with them. <u>Never</u> use square brackets with either infinity
From the graph (see attached image below), we see that (0,-4) is the lowest point. This means y = -4 is the smallest y output possible, though we can't actually reach it because of the open circle at (0,-4). We can get any other larger y value. So the range is therefore: 
meaning we start at -4 and head off to positive infinity. The curve parenthesis next to -4 the reader "exclude -4 as part of the range". There is an open hole or gap here. Another way to state the range is to write y > -4
Answer:
She can buy six bulbs of garlic
Step-by-step explanation:
Well you know that each bulb of garlic is 2 dollars. You also know that Stephanie has 12 dollars. In order to solve this you need to take the amount of money Stephanie has and divide it by the price per bulb in order to find out how many bulbs she can buy.
12/2 = 6
She can buy 6 bulbs of garlic
