Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Best estimate' doesn't happen automaticallly, because you have to define "best" in this context. We could merely round all numbers and work with the results:

For example, starting with the work inside parentheses, we have:

5 5/6 - (1 + 4) = 5 5/6 - 5. We must round 5 5/6 up to 6. Then the "best estimate' is 6 - 5, or just 1.

Let f(x)=1/2x2+4. The function g(x) is a vertical stretch of f(x) by a factor of 4. What is the equation of g(x)?

andrey2020 [161]

The equation of g(x) is $g(x)=2 x^{2}+16$

Explanation:

Given that the function f(x) is $f(x)=\frac{1}{2} x^{2}+4$

Also, given that the function g(x) is a vertical stretch of f(x) by a factor of 4.

We need to determine the equation of g(x)

<u>Equation of g(x):</u>

The vertical stretch of the function can be determined by multiplying the factor 4 with the function f(x).

Thus, we have,

$g(x)=4 f(x)$

Substituting the values,we have,

$g(x)=4\left(\frac{1}{2} x^{2}+4\right)$

Simplifying the values, we get,

$g(x)=2 x^{2}+16$

Hence, the equation of g(x) is $g(x)=2 x^{2}+16$

$\sf \longmapsto\dfrac{ {x}^{2} - 9 }{ {x}^{2} - 3x}$

$\sf \longmapsto \dfrac{x + 3(x - 3)}{x(x - 3)}$

$\sf \longmapsto \: \dfrac{x + 3}{x}$

$\boxed{\sf \dfrac{x + 3}{x} }$
