Answer:
This type of transformation is a horizontal stretch.
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Required
Determine the type of transformation
The first function can be expressed as:

While the second function is:

Solving f(0.5x), we have to substitute 0.5x for x in 

So:
The second function is:

<em>This type of transformation is a horizontal stretch.</em>
<em></em>
<em>i.e. f(x) stretched to g(x)</em>
I believe the answer is D.
3^2 is 9 and 4^2 is 16, and because 9/16 was the third term in the sequence, you raise both the numerator and the denominator by the number of the term minus 1.
So to find the seventh term, you raise the numerator and denominator by 7 - 1 = 6.
So the answer is 729/4096
Order of operations (PEMDAS):
21 - 18 <span>/ 3 * 2
let's add some parenthesese to make it easier to see:
21 - (18 / 3 * 2)
multiplication and division are associative
also: 18 / 3 = 18 * (1/3)
21 - (18 * (1/3) * 2)
21 - (6*2) or 21 - (36 * (1/3)) or 21 - (18 * (2/3))
21 - 12
9
