Answer: Choice A -- f(x) = (1/3)*|x|
============================================
The input of a function is x and the output is y = f(x)
To vertically compress a function, we will multiply the y value by some fraction smaller than 1. This is so that the y coordinates are a fraction of what they once were.
In this case, we multiply y by 1/3 so that something that has a y coordinate of y = 81 becomes y = 27 (divide by 3)
So we have y = f(x) become (1/3)*y = (1/3)*f(x) = (1/3)*|x|
For this case we can make the following rule of three:
4 gallons --------------> 14 plants
x --------------------------> 35 plants
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:

therefore, 10 gallons are needed to irrigate 35 plants.
Answer:
it will take 10 gallons to water 35 plants
13 people are required to do so
