The numbers are 16 and 4
Reason: 16+4=20 and (16*3)-(4*2)=48-8=40
Answer: 12 units

Answer:
<h2><em><u>2x</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>×</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>2x</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>×</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>2x</u></em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:

= <em><u>2x × 2x × 2x (In expanded notation form) (Ans)</u></em>
Our parent function is f(x)=x^2. A vertical stretch by a factor of k means that every point (x,f(x)), has been transformed into (x,kf(x)). Alex is clearly incorrect as our parent function has been transformed to (x,9f(x)), not (x,3f(x)). A horizontal stretch(or compression) by a factor of k means our function has been transformed to (x/k,f(x)). Here, Marta is saying our function should look like (3x,f(x)). This can also be achieved by plugging 3x into the parent function, which would give us f(3x)=(3x)^2, so it seems that Marta is the correct one.
