Answer:
1.6% shrinkage
Step-by-step explanation:
907,340 - 875,435 = 31,905
31,905 / 1,988,345 = .0160 = 1.6%
With the information given, we deduce that the parabola is
Reflecting a function over the x axis means to change its sign. After the reflection, the parabola becomes
And to shift down a function, you subtract the shift from the equation: the equation becomes
Similarly, the other function is reflected over the x axis (sign change) and shifted up 3 (add 3 to the equation):
In order to compute the y intercept, we simply have to evaluate the functions at x=0: for the parabola we have
For the other function, we have
These are two separate problems: in the first we will have to substitute in a new value for x into the original equation and in the second we will manipulate the preexisting equation for f(x).
To begin, we will sub in f(x/3). To do this, we will substitute each variable x in the equation (in this case there is only one) with x/3, and then simplify the resulting equation.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x/3) = 6(x/3) - 18
To simplify, we should distribute the 6 on the right side of the equation.
f(x/3) = 6x/3 - 18
Now, we can divide the first term on the right side to finalize our simplification.
f(x/3) = 2x -18
Secondly, we are asked to find f(x)/3. To do this, we will take our original value for f(x), and then simplify divide that entire function by 3.
f(x) = 6x - 18
f(x)/3 = (6x-18)/3
This means that we must divide each term of the binomial by 3, so we are really computing
f(x)/3 = 6x/3 - 18/3
We can simplify by dividing both of the terms.
f(x)/3 = 2x - 6
Therefore, your answer is that f(x/3) = 2x - 18, but f(x)/3 = 2x - 6. It is important to recognize that these are two similar, yet different, answers.
Hope this helps!
