Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need tot find a general expression for the amount of caffeine remaining in the body after certain time. As the problem states that every hour x percent of caffeine leaves the body, we must substract that percentage from the initial quantity of caffeine, by each hour passing. That expression would be:

Then, to find the amount of caffeine metabolized per hour, we need to differentiate the previous equation. Following the differentiation rules we get:

The rate is negative as it represents the amount of caffeine leaving the body at certain time.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = the number of phone available
If it would require 8 more phones, then the total number of phones will be x + 8.
A company hired an additional 12 employees, and every employee needed a phone, then
x + 8 = 12
x = 4
This means 4 phones were available (and 8 more needed to total in 12 phones for 12 new employees)
Hence, correct option is option A.
If we dialate a function we are just changing what the graph looks like by a stretch or a compression, the function really doesn't change. If a function before the dilation, then it is a function after the dilation. The opposite is also true.
