When the domain of the function is continuous, a different approach may well be required, although even here we note that in practice, optimization problems are usually solved using a computer, so that in the final analysis the solutions are represented by strings of binary digits (bits).
Answer: Choice B

=========================================================
Explanation:
When dilating with respect to the origin, any point of the form (x,y) moves to (kx, ky) for some real number k. The k is the scale factor.
Point C is at (-2,2). It moves to C ' (-5,5)
The jump from x = -2 to x = -5 is "times 5/2" since kx = (5/2)*(-2) = -5
The same scale factor is used when going from y = 2 to y = 5.
Both x and y coordinates are multiplied by 5/2 to move from (-2,2) to (-5,5)
Therefore, the dilation rule we use is 
-----------
We could have these steps to confirm

well 4 1/2 pounds should be 4.5 so that in kilograms is 2.04117
Answer:
125/s
Step-by-step explanation:
5^3 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 25 x 5 = 125
Find the quotient of the result and s
125 ÷ s
= 125/s
Hope this helps :)
