Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -x^3 + x^2
Let x = -2
Evaluate the expression
f(-2) = -(-2)^3 + (-2)^2
= - (-2)*(-2) * (-2) + ( -2) * (-2)
= -(-8) + ( 4)
= 8 + 4
= 12
A, B and D are already rational numbers, 0.4 itself is a rational number, two rational numbers make a product of rational number.
So A, B, D are the correct choices.
Are you sure it asks for rational numbers, not irrational number?
Answer:
Consider the parent logarithm function f(x) = log(x)
Now,
Let us make transformations in the function f(x) to get the function g(x)
•On streching the graph of f(x) = log(x) , vertically by a factor of 3, the graph of y = 3log(x) is obtained.
•Now, shrinking the graph of y = 3log(x) horizontally by a fctor of 2 to get the grpah of y = 3log(x/2) i.e the graph of g(x)
Hence, the function g(x) after the parent function f(x) = log(x) undergoes a vertical stretch by a factor of 3, and a horizontal shrink by a factor of 2 is
g(x) = 3 log(x/2) (Option-B).
