The parabola y=x² is scaled vertically by a factor of 1/10.
What is the equation of the new parabola?
Answer:
The equation of the new parabola is 0.1x²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Parabola: y = x²
Scale = 1/10 = 0.1
The interpretation of this question is that; there's a need to scale the graph in ratio 1:10.
I.e; 1 unit on the parabola is being represented by 10 unit on the scale
So, x (on the new parabola) = 1/10 of old x.
So, the new equation of the parabola = 1/10x²
New equation = 0.1x²
Hence, the equation of the new parabola is calculated as 0.1x²
x ≤ -2
Step-by-step explanation:

(2/5) / 1 = x / (3/4).....2/5 cups to 1 pie = x cups to 3/4 pie
cross multiply
(1)(x) = (2/5)(3/4)
x = 6/20 which reduces to 3/10 cups <==
Your specific question was how many " hours " did he work this week so,
Monday: 7 whole hours
Tuesday: 5 whole hours
Wednesday: 6 whole hours
Thurs.-Fri.: Was off.
So that makes 7+5+6=18 hours.
The 30 minutes from Monday & 20 minutes from Tuesday doesn't equal one whole hour so it doesn't count.
