Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys : girls = 3 : 1 = 3x : x ( x is a multiplier )

There are 52 more boys than girls , so

3x = x + 52 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x = 52 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 26, then

3x = 3 × 26 = 78 ← number of boys

Total number = 78 + 26 = 104

<em>Answer</em>

a. Vertical shrink by a factor of 1/3

<em>Step-by-step explanation</em>

Function transformation

• a,f(x) vertically compresses f(x) when 0 < a < 1

Given the function:

$f(x)=x^2$

Multiplying f(x) by a = 1/3, we get:

$\frac{1}{3}f(x)=\frac{1}{3}x^2=h(x)$

Then, f(x) is vertically shrunk by a factor of 1/3
