The horizontal stretch is the correct answer. A period is the distance on the x-axis that it takes for the tangent or cotangent function to repeat itself. Stretching it out horizontally will lengthen that distance and therefore change the period.
<span>I got 2^(3/5) as the answer</span>
Looks fishy to me, the way this problem combines <, = and > symbols.
But anyway. Subtract 3x from both sides. You'll get
5 < x = 2 > 0 2 > 0 is true, but that's a different type of math problem (true or false). If you decide to substitute '1' for 2 > 0, then the "1" says "TRUE."
Then 5 < x = true, so you must find x values that are larger than 5.
That would be (5, infinity)
Please go back and ensure that you have copied down the original problem exactly as it appears.
The answer is 2/5 because hot dog to chicken is 4/10 and if u simplify u get 2/5
