The answer is 7 3/4 inches.
I noticed the word "train" in the problem and I knew I had to help you! :)
-2x^2 + 3x - 9 = 0
The quadratic is not factorable so quadratic formula must be used.
x = (-b + - √(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
a = -2, b = 3, c = -9
x = (-3 + - √(9 - 4*-2*-9))/-4
x = (-3 + - √(-63))/-4
x = -3 + - 3i√7
--------------
-4
x = 3 + 3i√7 x = 3 - 3i√7
------------ ------------
4 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the absolute value parent function f(x) = |x| and this function is vertically compressed by a factor 3.
If we multiply the function with a constant (say a) then the parent function will get stretch/compressed vertically.
We have below conditions for vertical stretch and compression.
a > 1 => vertically stretch
0 < a < 1 => vertically compression
Hence, in order to vertical compression by a factor 3, we have to multiply the whole function by 1/3
Therefore, the equation for new function is
