Given:
The two functions are:
To find:
The statement that best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x).
Solution:
The horizontal stretch is defined as:
...(i)
If 
, the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor 
.
If 
, the function f(x) is horizontally compressed by factor .
We have,
Using these functions, we get
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
Since , the function f(x) is horizontally stretched by factor 
.
Hence, the correct option is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
what does the ^ stand for? what number does it represent?
Answer:
first do:
60mph * 4 hours= 240mi
Let D = the distance the passenger train has to
travel to catch the freight train
Start a stopwatch when the passenger train leaves
Let t = the time on the stopwatch when they meet
Equation for freight train:
d-240=60t
Equation for passenger train:
d=100t
all together:
100t-240=60t
we can do 100t-60t because they both have (t)= 40t
40t=240 *now divide 240 by 40= 6
THEN do:
D= 100mph x 6= 600mi
They will meet 600 mi from the station
to check:
d-240=60t x 6
600-240= 360
60 x 6= 360
360=360
