Given the graph y = f(x)

The graph y = f(cx), where c is a constant is refered to as horizontal stretch/compression

A horizontal stretching is the stretching of the graph away from the y-axis. A horizontal compression is the squeezing of the graph towards the y-axis. A compression is a stretch by a factor less than 1.

If | c | < 1 (a fraction between 0 and 1), then the graph is stretched horizontally by a factor of c units.
If | c | > 1, then the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor of c units.

For values of c that are negative, then the horizontal compression or horizontal stretching of the graph is followed by a reflection across the y-axis.

The graph y = cf(x), where c is a constant is referred to as a vertical stretching/compression.

A vertical streching is the stretching of the graph away from the x-axis. A vertical compression is the squeezing of the graph towards the x-axis. A compression is a stretch by a factor less than 1.

If | c | < 1 (a fraction between 0 and 1), then the graph is compressed vertically by a factor of c units.
If | c | > 1, then the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of c units.

For values of c that are negative, then the vertical compression or vertical stretching of the graph is followed by a reflection across the x-axis.

Answer: it would be (2, -4) because if you flip it it will still be the same just at a different angle.

Lim x--> 0 (e^x(sinx)(tax))/x^2

Tom [10]

Make use of the known limit,

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}x=1$

We have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{e^x\sin x\tan x}{x^2}=\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{e^x}{\cos x}\right)\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin^2x}{x^2}\right)$

since $\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}$ , and the limit of a product is the same as the product of limits.

$\dfrac{e^x}{\cos x}$ is continuous at $x=0$ , and $\dfrac{e^0}{\cos 0}=1$ . The remaining limit is also 1, since

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin^2x}{x^2}=\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}x\right)^2=1^2=1$

so the overall limit is 1.

Mutations can happen because of damage by environmental factors, such as radiation and chemicals. Viruses may also cause DNA damage. Mutation can also occur during DNA replication due to errors. When DNA is changed the protein it codes may become non-functional or it may change its shape. Some genes control other genes. For example, the Hox genes are responsible for controlling other genes during development. They specify where the head, body and legs may be located, and also where where your nose, ears and eyes are located on your head. A mutation in the Hox genes, for example, may cause big changes, for example, a wing that grows out of the eyes of a fruit fly is due to a mutation in the Hox gene. Hox genes do not tell how wings are formed, just where it may be formed. If a gene that controls the development of the wing or legs or nose has a mutation then it may change the shape of the wing, leg, or nose.

<span> There are also some genes that do not govern the development of body parts, but they nevertheless have influence on traits. For example, the genes that govern the manufacture of eumelanin, if they malfunction, may result in such traits as light skin, blue eyes, and/or blond hair, because eumelanin is the pigment that gives hair, skin and eyes their dark brown to black color. An albino African, for example, will have light skin and even blue eyes and blond hair, because his/her genes for manufacturing eumelanin is defective. Some other genes control other traits but their effects are not as visible. For example, a mutation in some people's genes make them resistant to the HIV virus and the Bubonic plague, but such a trait is not visible from the outside.</span>

There are 5 chemistry, 6 physics, and 7 math teachers in a school. if 3 teachers are selected randomly, find the probability tha

mrs_skeptik [129]

77.2%

To find the probably and at least on you must find the probability of none and subtract from one.

The probability of none can be found like so:

(5+6 over 5+6+7)^3 = .228

1 - .228 = .772

Hope this helps!
