Answer:
(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.
Part A:
The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.
The formula to compute the slope is:
Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)
Compute the slope of the line as follows:
Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
Part B:
The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:
Number of Bushels Price
2 10
4 20
6 30
8 40
Compute the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:
Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)
The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.
Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
Using the stated transformation, the graph of g(2x) is given at the end of the answer.
<h3>Horizontal stretch and compression</h3>An horizontal stretch or an horizontal compression happens when a constant is multiplied at the domain of the function, as follows:
g(x) = f(ax).
The definition of stretch or compression depends on the value of the constant a, as follows:
- If a > 1, it is a compression by a factor of 1/a.
- If a < 1, it is a stretch by a factor of 1/a.
In this problem, the rule is:
f(x) = g(2x).
Meaning that f(x) is an horizontal compression by a factor of 1/2 of g(x), and then the vertices are given as follows:
- (0,0).
- (1,-4).
- (2,-2).
That is, in each vertex, the x-coordinate was divided by 2, and thus the graph with these vertices is given at the end of the answer.
