Suppose that f(x)=x^2 and g(x)=4x^2-2. which statement best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x)?
2 answers:
The standard form of a parabola is 
, where h and k are the coordinates of the vertex and the a is the value that either compresses it vertically or draws it out horizontally (aka stretched). The h value also indicates side to side movement, while the k value indicates up or down movement. The larger the a value, the closer the parabola "hugs" the axis of symmetry. All in all here, we have a parabola in g(x) that is vertically compressed and is moving down from its original vertex of f(x) which (0, 0) by 2 units. Therefore, our choice is b.

Answer:
5.
Step-by-step explanation:
==>>We would have to multiply the original amount by 1.50^x because the initial amount would be 1, and 50% increase would be .5 so 1.5 and you raise it to the number of years to show the total increase.
- Let's test it
Initial: 10,000
After 1 year
10,000 + (.5*10000)
10,000 + 5000 = 15,000
--
After 2 years
15,000 + (.5*15000)
15,000 + 7500 = 22,500

Let's try our equation.
