X(force put on box)>40
In order to move the box you have to apply more force than the box has when it’s not moving.
A vertical compression implies a reduction in the y-values of the absolute value function. Therefore, the term that we use to accomplish the reduction cannot be attached to the x in the equation. If so, we would end up with a horizontal stretch, not a vertical compression.
Compression implies a reduction, or dividing, so our term will be 1/5. This should be placed outside of the absolute value bars so that the compression affects only the y-values.
Correct answer: B. g(x) = 1/5|x|
Hope this helps! :)
14. (n-5)*4+7
15. No, this would not be neccesary because if I were to distribute 1/2 to both 4 and 6, I know that I would get half of those numbers which would give me 2x+3. I also know that if I distribute 1/3 to both 9 and 24, I would get 1/3 of each number which would be 3 and 8.
