Answer:

5(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

So factor is to make it simplified like x(y+c) {I made up random variable for an example but almost all factored problems look like this}

So first find the Greatest Common Factor or GCF for short

The GCF between 5x and 5 is 5

So you divide the whole thing by 5

5x+5/5

you’d get x+1

Now for the 5 just put it around X+1 but with parenthesis

5(x+1)

Identify the parent function that can be used to graph the function f(x)= (1/4 x)^3

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

$f(x)=x^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function denotes the simplest function (free from any horizontal/vertical stretch/compression) that represents a family of functions. In this case the term 1/4 indicates a horizontal stretch and should be removed to find the parent function of $f(x)=x^3$ . From here we're in simplest form, since $y=x$ or others represent a completely different family of functions and cannot be obtained from horizontal/vertical stretches/compressions.
