The answer is probably 30 or 60
It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12
= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12
= 8 + 12 = 5x
= x = 20 / 5
= x = 4
The original square has the area (8 in)^2 = 64 in^2.
If we mult. this area by 36, we get the area of a larger square 2304 in^2.
The new side length is sqrt(2304 in^2), or 48. In other words, the original square has side length 8 in, but the 'new' square has side length 48 in.
Answer:
I guess that you want to know the transformations:
We start with:
f(x) = y = 4*x + 3
a)the transformed function is:
f(x) = y = -4*x - 3
So the sign changed.
This means that we go from (x, y) to (x, - y)
This is a reflection over the x-axis which changes the sin of the y component.
b) Now we go to f(x) = 4*x + 3
So the coefficient in the leading term changed.
This is a horizontal contraction:
A horizontal contraction of factor K for the function g(x) is: g(K*x)
In our case, we have:
f(K*x) = 4*(k*x) + 3 = x + 3
4*k*x = x
4*k = 1
k = 1/4
Then the transformation is an horizontal contraction of scale factor 1/4.
