1 to left gives (x -1)^2
vertical stretch makes it 5(x - 1)^2
reflection in axis changes the sign to - :-
equation of new function is f(x) = -5(x - 1)^2
Take into account, that in general, a cosine function of amplitude A, period T and vertical translation b, can be written as follow:

In the given case, you have:
A = 4
T = 3π/4
b = -3
By replacing you obtain:

Hence, the answer is:
f(x) = 4cos(8/3 x) - 3
Answer:
distance covered in 2 hours = 80 km
distance covered in 1 hour = 80÷2 = 40 km
distance covered in 7/2 hours = 40 × 7/2
= 140 km
(3 1/2hours = 7/2 hours)
The equation of a vertical line passing through the point (-5,-1) is x = -5
She will use 3 rows of 3 squares, for a total of 9 squares.
Since the shape she is covering is a square, all of the sides are equal. If 3 square tiles fit across the width of the top, then 3 square tiles fit across the length of it as well. This makes 3 by 3, or 9 squares.
