Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
In general
Given
y = f(x) then y = f(Cx) is a horizontal stretch/ compression in the x- direction
• If C > 1 then compression
• If 0 < C < 1 then stretch
Consider corresponding points on the 2 graphs
(2, 2 ) → (4, 2 )
(4, - 2 ) → (8, - 2 )
Indicating a stretch in the x- direction.
y = f( ) with C =
, that is 0 < C < 1
stretches the graph in the x- direction by a factor of 2
Thus
y = f( ) → b

Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 3x + 7 = 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
x² + 3x + 2 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 2)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x ( zero product rule )
x + 2 = 0 → x = - 2
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
--------------------------------------------------------------
x² - 2 = - 2x² + 5x ( subtract - 2x² + 5x from both sides )
3x² - 5x - 2 = 0 ← in standard form
(3x + 1)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
3x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 3x = - 1 ⇒ x = -
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------
(x + 3)² + 4x = 0 ← expand left side using FOIL and simplify
x² + 6x + 9 + 4x = 0
x² + 10x + 9 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 9)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = - 9
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
