Answer:

  it depends

Step-by-step explanation:

When the transformation is written in functional form:

  g(x) = a·f(x) . . . . vertical expansion by a factor of "a"

  g(x) = f(a·x) . . . . horizontal compression by a factor of "a"

the transformation can be determined by the locations of the various scale factors (and offsets).

__

When the function is written out, as in two of your examples, the transformation is subject to some "interpretation."

  y = 2x² . . . . . can be considered a vertical stretch of x²

  y = (2x)² . . . . can be considered a horizontal compression of x²

  y = 4x² . . . . . can be considered a vertical stretch of x²

Please note that these last two examples have identical graphs. It depends on what you consider to be the parent function, and how you consider the transformation to be applied. The use of parentheses can guide your interpretation of the transformation.

Different transformations can have the same result, so which way you interpret the equation depends on what you consider to be the parent function and how you consider the transformation to be applied. Often, the context of the question is involved, too.

What is the equation of the line in point slope form
Phoenix [80]
Well... to solve use rise over run... that is to find the slope,
now to find the y-intercept you look at what coordinate crosses the y-axis. 
y= (what you got for the slope Ex. 1/2)x + (the y-intercept)

Figure it out and you got the answer with just a bit of help!!!

Hope this helps!

I really need help with this question. Can I get a explanation too?
aniked [119]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the surface area:

Bottom base: 57 × 27 = 1,539

Top base: 21 × 27 = 567

Rectangular face: 23 × 27 = 621

Rectangular face: 23 × 27 = 621

Trapezoidal face: (21 + 57) ÷ 2 × 15 = 585

Trapezoidal face: (21 + 57) ÷ 2 × 15 = 585

1,539 + 567 + 621 + 621 + 585 + 585 = 4,518

The surface area is 4,518 square inches
