May be there is an operator missing in the first function, h(x). I will solve this in two ways, 1) as if the h(x) = 5x and 2) as if h(x) = 5 + x
1) If h(x) = 5x and k(x) = 1/x
Then (k o h) (x) = k ( h(x) ) = k(5x) = 1/(5x)
2) If h(x) = 5 + x and k (x) = 1/x
Then (k o h)(x) =k ( h(x) ) = k (5+x) = 1 / [5 + x]
It's always easier to understand a concept by looking at specific examples with pictures, so I suggest looking at the dilation examples below first...before you try to internalize the steps listed below and that explain the general formula for dilating a point with coordinates of (2,4) by a scale factor of <span><span>12</span><span>12</span></span>.

Answer: $2.26
10% of $52.50 is 5.25. Then, $52.50-$5.25 is $47.25. $49.99-$47.25 is $2.26

Answer: -6/5</h3>
Explanation:
The blue diagonal line goes through the two points (0,2) and (5,-4). These are shown as the dark blue enlarged points. You can pick any other points you want that are on the diagonal line, though these are the easiest as they stand out the most.
Use the slope formula to find the slope through these points
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-4-2)/(5-0)
m = (-6)/(5)
m = -6/5
The negative slope means the line goes downhill as you move from left to right along the diagonal line.
