A certain standardized test measures students’ knowledge in English and math. The English and math scores for 10 randomly select
ed students were recorded and analyzed. The results are shown in the computer output.
Which of the following represents the standard deviation of the residuals?
1.223
34.55
78.712
124.13
I think it's (B), 34.55

Answer:
- vertical scaling by a factor of -4
- horizontal translation 5 units left
- vertical translation 11 units up
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the multiplier of the squared term in f(x) is 0.5; in g(x), it is -2, so is a factor of -4 times that in f(x).
If we scale f(x) by a factor of -4, we get ...
-4f(x) = -2(x -2)² -12
In order for the squared quantity to be x+3, we have to add 5 to the value that is squared in f(x). That is, x -2 must become x +3. We have to replace x with (x+5) to do that, so ...
(x+5) -2 = x +3
The replacement of x with x+5 amounts to a translation of 5 units to the left.
We note that the added constant after our scaling changes from +3 to -12. Instead, we want it to be -1, so we must add 11 to the scaled function. That translates it upward by 11 units.
The attached graph shows the scaled and translated function g(x):
g(x) = -4f(x +5) +11
