A horizontal stretch is simply making the parabola of the parent function wider, it's kind of like changing the slope of a line to make it less steep.

In the graph, the red line is the parent function and the blue line is the horizontally stretched function. See how the blue line appears to be stretched (horizontally).

gia is thinking of a number which she calls n. She adds 4 to the number and then doubles the sum. Write an expression to represe

I know that real numbers consist of the natural or counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational nu

The imaginary unit $i$ belongs to the set of complex numbers, denoted by $\mathbb C$ . These numbers take the form $a+bi$ , where $a,b$ are any real numbers.

The set of real numbers, $\mathbb R$ , is a subset of $\mathbb C$ , where each number in $\mathbb R$ can be obtained by taking $b=0$ and letting $a$ be any real number.

But any number in $\mathbb C$ with non-zero imaginary part is not a real number. This includes $i$ .

"is it possible that i can use an imaginary number for a real number"

I'm not sure what you mean by this part of your question. It is possible to represent any real number as a complex number, but not a purely imaginary one. All real numbers are complex, but not all complex numbers are real. For example, 2 is real and complex because $2=2+0i$ .

There are some operations that you can carry out on purely imaginary numbers to get a purely real number. A famous example is raising $i$ to the $i$ -th power. Since $i=e^{i\pi/2}$ , we have

$i^i=\left(e^{i\pi/2}\right)^i=e^{i^2\pi/2}=e^{-\pi/2}\approx0.2079$
