Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the scale factor, we have ...
x/8 = 0.25/1
x = 8(0.25) . . . . multiply by 8
x = 2

<em>Additional comment</em>
I like to write proportions with the variable in the numerator. That way they are easily solved by a single multiplication. The trick is to get corresponding parts in the same positions. Here, the fractions are written ...
B/A = smaller part / larger part = x/8 = 0.25/1
3 and 4/9 would be the answer to this.
Answer:
y = 1/2 x²
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient of the first term in a quadratic, in our case here, x², will tell us how the graph stretches. This is akin to the slope within the linear graph. Similar to the slope, the smaller the coefficient value, or value of slope m, the shallower the angle.
When discussing quadratics, the larger the coefficient of our x² term, the steeper, and skinnier the graph. If we want to look for a graph that is wider than y = 2x², then we need to find a graph with a coefficient that is less than 2.
Our only option then is
y = 1/2 x²
