Dilation is scale factor, like a dilation scale factor of 2
Answer: It would be y=2x.
Answer:
Rx)=1/3x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
A horizontal stretch is simply making the parabola of the parent function wider, it's kind of like changing the slope of a line to make it less steep.
In the graph, the red line is the parent function and the blue line is the horizontally stretched function. See how the blue line appears to be stretched (horizontally).
You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
