What was done to the linear parent function, f(x) = x, to get the function
g(x) = 1/6 x

Vertically Shrunk by a factor of 1/6

Explanation:

Parent Formula: f(x) = a(bx - c) + d

a - vertical shrink/stretch and x-reflections

b - horizontal shrink/stretch and y-reflections

c - horizontal movement left/right

d - vertical movement up/down

Since we are only modifying a, we are dealing with vertical shrink/stretch:

Since a < 1 (1/6 < 1), we are dealing with a vertical shrink of 1/6.

Since a > 0 (1/6 > 0), we do not have a reflection over the x-axis.

po-215 i got it right on the quiz

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
