18. Let's start by finding the ratio, since this will make it easier to model it on the number line.
We can write 6 as
so
In order to do a division of fractions, we multiply both ends of the operation and put the result in the numerator, and then we multiply the two numbers in the middle and put them in the denominator:
In other words, the quotient is 8.
17. Now that we know the result of the operation, we simply mark the 8 on the number line:
Given:
The parent function is
Consider the transformed function is g(x) instead of f(x) because both functions are different.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
It can be written as
...(i)
The translation is defined as
.... (ii)
Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.
If 0<|k|<1, then the graph compressed vertically by factor k and if |k|>1, then the graph stretch vertically by factor k.
If k is negative, then f(x) is reflected across the x-axis to get g(x).
If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.
If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
, f(x) shifts 4 units right.
, f(x) shifts 8 units down.
, it is negative so f(x) reflected across the x-axis.
, so f(x) stretched vertically by factor 5.
Therefore, the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, stretched vertically by factor 5 and shifted 4 units right 8 units down to get g(x).
