<h3>Answer: 24.5 </h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
It might help to draw it out. See the diagram below.
The base is JK which is 7 units long. I'm picking this as the base because this segment is completely horizontal.
Notice how the base JK spans from x = -3 to x = 4, which we can use subtraction and absolute value to get |J-K| = |-3-4| = 7.
The height is always perpendicular to the base. If the base is JK = 7, then the height is the vertical distance from K (or J) to L. This vertical distance is also 7 units. Subtract the y coordinates and apply absolute value. The base and height aren't always the same number.
Now we can find the area of the triangle
area = base*height/2
area = 7*7/2
area = 49/2
area = 24.5 square units

Answer:
The sequence is: Refection across y-axis, Horizontal Shrink, Horizontal Translation and Reflection across x-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, we are given f(x) = square root x.
The sequence of transformations which transform f(x) into g(x) is given by:
1. Reflection across y-axis i.e. f( x ) to f( -x )
2. Horizontal Shrinking i.e. f( -x ) to f( -x/2 )
3. Horizontal Translation i.e. f( -x/2 ) to f( -x/2 + 3 )
4. Reflection across x-axis i.e. f( -x/2 + 3 ) to -f( -x/2 + 3).
