In similar triangles, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
This means
y/6=5/(4+5)
Cross multiply
y=5*6/(4+5)=30/9=10/3 (or 3 1/3)
You need to multiply the amount by the tax
<span>4[(10-4) 2 to the second power divided by 4]
=4x6x2</span> to the second power divided by 4
=6x2 to the second power
=6x4
=24
Hope that helps and hope that I didn't misunderstand your question
Our parent function is f(x)=x^2. A vertical stretch by a factor of k means that every point (x,f(x)), has been transformed into (x,kf(x)). Alex is clearly incorrect as our parent function has been transformed to (x,9f(x)), not (x,3f(x)). A horizontal stretch(or compression) by a factor of k means our function has been transformed to (x/k,f(x)). Here, Marta is saying our function should look like (3x,f(x)). This can also be achieved by plugging 3x into the parent function, which would give us f(3x)=(3x)^2, so it seems that Marta is the correct one.
