Answer:

k = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

since y varies directly as x, then the equation connecting them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the given condition y = - 3 when x = 2, thus

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{-3}{2}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$

The graph of the parent function y = x cubed is horizontally stretched by a factor of One-fifth and reflected over the y-axis. W

sasho [114]

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Below are some transformations for a function f(x):

If $-f(x)$ , then the function is reflected over the x-axis.

If $f(-x)$ , then the function is reflected over the y-axis.

If $f(bx)$ and $b>1$ , then the function is horizontally compressed.

If $f(bx)$ and $0 < b$ , then the function is horizontally stretched.

In this case you know that the parent function is:

$y=x^3$

According to the information given in the exercise, the parent function IS horizontally stretched by a factor of $\frac{1}{5}$ and it is also reflected over the y-axis.

Therefore, based on the transformations explained before, you can notice that the transformation is:

$f(-bx)$

Where $0 < b$

Therefore, the equation of the transformed function is:

$y=(-\frac{1}{5}x)^ 3$

How can I find the area of a rectangle with a rectangle the size of w- 2in and l- 5 in. I need two ways and i need a lot of easy

Anvisha [2.4K]

Here's one way: A=WxL So in this case, it's 2x5 You would draw the rectangle, label one side 2 in. and the other 5 in. Draw an arrow from each no./side and put x underneath the line so that its 2 —x— 5 (2, line, x, line, 5. With x under line)
