The profit function for the first version of the device was very similar to the profit function for the new version. As a matter

of fact, the profit function for the first version is a transformation of the profit function for the new version. For the value x = 40, the original profit function is half the size of the new profit function. Write two function transformations in terms of P(x) that could represent the original profit function.

Answer:

a) - Compressing the P(new) function by a scale of 0.5 about the y axis.

- Moving the P(new) function down by 104 units.

b) The two simplified functions for P(original)

-0.08x² + 10.8x – 200.

-0.16x² + 21.6x – 504.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

An electronics manufacturer recently created a new version of a popular device. It also created this function to represent the profit, P(x), in tens of thousands of dollars, that the company will earn based on manufacturing x thousand devices: P(x) = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 400.

a. The profit function for the first version of the device was very similar to the profit function for the new version. As a matter of fact, the profit function for the first version is a transformation of the profit function for the new version. For the value x = 40, the original profit function is half the size of the new profit function. Write two function transformations in terms of P(x) that could represent the original profit function.

b. Write the two possible functions from part a in simplified form.

Solution

The equation for the new profit function is

P(x) = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 400

At x = 40, the original profit function is half the size of the new profit function

First, we find the value of the new profit function at x = 40

P(x) = -0.16(40)² + 21.6(40) – 400 = 208

Half of 208 = 0.5 × 208 = 104

P(original at x = 40) = P(new at x = 40) ÷ 2

Since we are told that P(original) is a simple transformation of the P(new)

P(original) = P(new)/2 = (-0.16x² + 21.6x – 400)/2 = -0.08x² + 10.8x – 200 ... (eqn 1)

Or, P(original) = 104

-0.16x² + 21.6x – 400 = 104

P(original) = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 400 - 104 = -0.16x² + 21.6x – 504.

So, the two functions that are simple transformations of P(new) to get P(original) are

-0.08x² + 10.8x – 200

Obtained by compressing the P(new) function by a scale of 0.5 about the y axis.

And

-0.16x² + 21.6x – 504.

Obtained by moving the P(new) function down by 104 units.

Hope this Helps!!!

Which table of values will generate this graph? On a coordinate plane, points are at (negative 2, 0), (0, 1), (0, negative 4), a
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (-2,0), (0,1), (0,-4) and (3,0).

In each ordered pair first element is x-coordinate and second is y-coordinate.

For 4 points, the table must have 2 columns and 4 rows.

So, the required table of values is

x         y

-2        0

0       -4

0        1

3        0

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Which function below is the inverse of f(x) = x^2-9
USPshnik [31]
To find the inverse
replace f(x) with y
switch all x and y
solve for y
replace y with f⁻¹(x)

f(x)=x^2-9
y=x^2-9
x=y^2-9
x+9=y^2
sqrt both sides
\sqrt{x+9}
replace
f⁻¹(x)=\sqrt{x+9}

that is the inverse
