Answer: option a.

Explanation:
A <em>shrink</em> of a function is a <em>shrink</em> on the vertical direction. It means that for a certain value of x, the new function will have a lower value, in the intervals where the function is positive, or a higher value, in those intervals where the function is negative. This is, the image of the new function is shortened in the vertical direction.
That is the reason behind the rule:
- given f(x), the graph of the function a×f(x), when a > 1, represents a vertical stretch of f(x),
- given f(x), the graph of the function a×f(x), when a < 1, represents a vertical shrink of f(x).
So, we just must apply the rule: to find a shrink of an exponential growth function, multiply the original function by a scale factor less than 1.
Since it <em>is a shrink of</em> <em>an exponential growth function</em>, the base must be greater than 1. Among the options, the functions that meet that conditon are a and b:

Now, following the rule it is the function with the fraction (1/3) in front of the exponential part which represents a <em>shrink of an exponential function</em>.
V = pi (6) squared (8)
Explanation: The formula for finding the volume of a cylinder is V = pi (radius) squared (height) so you just fill in the numbers and boom
Problem 1
<h3>Answer:
104 cubic inches</h3>
----------------------
Explanation:
The prisms are similar so they have the same shape, but different sizes.
The linear scale factor from small to large is:
large/small = 10/4 = 2.5
Meaning that we multiply each dimension of the smaller prism by 2.5 to get the corresponding side length of the larger prism
4*2.5 = 10
This linear scale factor is then cubed to get the volume scale factor
(2.5)^3 = 15.625
Which tells us:
larger volume = 15.625*(smaller volume)
smaller volume = (larger volume)/15.625
smaller volume = (1625)/15.625
smaller volume = 104 cubic inches
========================================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: 650 square inches</h3>
----------------------
Explanation:
We will go back to the linear scale factor of 2.5
This time, we square it to get (2.5)^2 = 6.25
This is the surface area scale factor.
larger surface area = 6.25*(smaller surface area)
larger surface area = 6.25*(104)
larger surface area = 650 square inches
Answer:
I think the answer is B
Step-by-step explanation:
Sorry if it's wrong
True.....I am not really good at explaining, but I would try. for any fraction , if it is multiplied by it inverse it equals to one because they end up crossing out. example: 3/4 ×4/3=1
6/23×23/6=1
