The parent function is y = x^2
There is a compression of 3:
y = 3x^2
There is a shift by 1 unit to the left:
y = 3(x + 1)^2
1.) Simply to 1/5 and 1/10
2.) put in decimal form 1/5= .2 and 1/10 = .1
3.) Add = .3
The caret (^) is the symbol conventionally used to indicate an exponent.
You have
area = 2.76·10^12
width = 4.6·10^5
You want to find the perimeter of the rectangle with these dimensions.
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width.
perimeter = 2*(length + width)
The length can be figured from the area using the formula for area.
area = length*width
area/width = length . . . . . . . . . divide by width
Filling in the numbers, we have
perimeter = 2*((2.76·10^12)/(4.6·10^5) +(4.6·10^5))
perimeter = 2*(6.0·10^6 +0.46·10^6)
perimeter = 2*6.46·10^6 = 1.292·10^7
The perimeter of the rectangle is ...
1.292·10^7
