What is a correct interpretation of the statement, "the ratio of dogs to cats is 7 to 2"?

The ratio of dogs to cats
7 to 2
Let’s look at the answers and cross out some of them

A seems valid, 7/2= 3.5

So B is wrong because 7 is the number of dogs not the number of total animals.

C is wrong because this is a ratio, and if the ratio is 7:2 then there could be 14:4 dogs and cats. 14 — 4 isn’t 5. We are not certain there are exactly this much dogs and this much cats.

D) For every 7 dogs there are 2 cats. 7/2 is dogs divided by cats, while 2/7 is cats divided by dogs

So the correct answer is A

In the function y=5x^2-2, what effect does the number 5 have on the graph, as compared to the graph of y=x^2?

allochka39001 [22]

General Idea:

The Rules for Transformations of Functions are given below:

If f(x) is the original function, a > 0 and c > 0; Then

$f(x)+k \; \; shift \; f(x) \; UPWARD \; k \; units\\\\f(x)-k \; \; shift \; f(x) \; DOWNWARD \; k \; units\\\\f(x+h) \; \; shift \; f(x) \; LEFT \; h \; units\\\\f(x-h) \; \; shift \; f(x) \; RIGHT \; h \; units\\\\-f(x) \; \; REFLECT \; f(x) \; in \; the \; x-axis\\\\f(-x) \; REFLECT \; f(x) \; in \; the \; y-axis\\\\a \cdot f(x), \; a>1 \; STRETCH \; f(x) \; vertically \; by \; a \; factor \; of \; a\\\\a \cdot f(x), \; 0$

$f(ax), \; a>1 \; SHRINK \; f(x) \; horizontally \; by \; a \; factor \; of \;\frac{1}{a} .\\\\f(ax), \; 0$

Applying the concept:

In the function y=5x^2-2, the effect that the number 5 have on the graph, as compared to the graph of y=x^2 is given below:

C.it stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 5

If f^-1(x) is the inverse of f(x), which statement must be true?

k0ka [10]

F(f-1x) will be equal to x

take a simple example

f(x) = 2x

so x = f(x) / 2

f-1(x) = x/2

f(f-1x) = 2 ( x/2) = 2 * x/2 = x
