to vertically shrink a function by a factor of c, multiply the whole function by c
f(x) vertically shrunk by a factor of c would be cf(x)
so f(x)=-3|x-4| vertically shrunk by a factor of 1/2 would be
Answer:
the answer is 5.
given, 2c-7c+8=-17
or, -5c=-17-5
or, c=-25/-5
therefore the value of c is 5...
Use the associative property that says
a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c
and the commutative property that says
a+b=b+a
use together and get
(8x+14)+(9x-5)=8x+9x+14-5
add like terms
8+9=17
therefor
17x+14-5
14-5=9
17x+9 is the simpliefid form
True, the zero at the end doesn't matter.
0.15=0.150
