Answer:

C) cigarette smoking

Explanation:

Smoking is the most common cause of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Nicotine consumption in the arteries lead to atherosclerosis which is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Another adverse effect of smoking is Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which is an irreversible respiratory disease and is directly associated with increased mortality percentages in the United States. Heart diseases account to approximately 635,260 deaths per year, whereas, COPD accounts to 154,596 deaths per year in the United States.

The graph of f(x) = sin(x) is transformed to a new function, g(x), by stretching it vertically by a factor of 2 and shifting it

Maksim231197 [3]

<h3>Answer: g(x) = 2sin(x)+3</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

We start with y = sin(x) or f(x) = sin(x). Recall that y = f(x) since both are outputs.

Vertically stretching by a factor of 2 means we multiply each y value by 2.

This means,

y = sin(x)

2y = 2sin(x)

Then we shift 3 units up. So we add 3 to the y coordinate

2y+3 = 2sin(x)+3

---------------------------------------------------

We can track an example point to see this movement in action. For instance, let's focus on the point (pi/6,1/2) which is on f(x). I'm in radian mode.

Stretching f(x) vertically by a factor of 2 means (pi/6,1/2) moves to (pi/6, 1) after the stretching occurs. I multiplied the y coordinate by 2, and kept the x coordinate the same.

Then we shift up 3 units to go from (pi/6, 1) to (pi/6, 4). You add 3 to the y coordinate and keep the x coordinate the same. Note that plugging x = pi/6 into g(x) = 2sin(x)+3 leads to 4.
