Step-by-step explanation:
you are trying to divide x by 7 to isolate x. so you divide by 8 on both sides.
Question is not well presented
The parabola y=x² is scaled vertically by a factor of 1/10.
What is the equation of the new parabola?
Answer:
The equation of the new parabola is 0.1x²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Parabola: y = x²
Scale = 1/10 = 0.1
The interpretation of this question is that; there's a need to scale the graph in ratio 1:10.
I.e; 1 unit on the parabola is being represented by 10 unit on the scale
So, x (on the new parabola) = 1/10 of old x.
So, the new equation of the parabola = 1/10x²
New equation = 0.1x²
Hence, the equation of the new parabola is calculated as 0.1x²
