Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The main goal in any equation is to get the unknown variable all by itself. In this case that means moving the fraction of 7/8 over to the other side of the equals sign. On the left, the fraction is being subtracted; that means that to move it to the other side, we add it since adding is the opposite of subtracting.
On the left side, if you have 7/8 and then take that 7/8 away, it's gone completely. What we have now is
We need a common denominator so we can add 4 (which is 4/1) to 7/8. 8 is the common denominator.
and
giving us
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
If g(x) is the transformation of f(x) as follows,
Then g(x) is a horizontal compression (if a > 1) or stretch (if a < 1) of f(x). The rule to map each point is,
In this case, this is a stretch so the point (-2, 2) maps to the point (-4, 2) and the origin is the same. Join these two points with a line and we get the graph of f(¹/₂x).
