The graph of f(x) can be stretched vertically and flipped over the x-axis to produce the graph of g(x). if f(x) = x2, which of the following could be the equation of g(x)? a. g(x) = 4x2 b. g(x) = -1/4x2 c. g(x) = -4x2 d. g(x) = 1/4x2

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

The transformation of the function is defined as

If k>1, then the graph of function F(x) stretched vertically and If 0<k<1, then the graph of function F(x) compressed vertically.

It is given that the graph of F(x) can be stretched vertically, it means the value of k must be greater than 1.

The graph of F(x) is flipped over the x-axis, so the function G(x) is equal to the negative of k times of F(x).

Where must be greater than 1.

In option 3, G(x) is equal to the negative of 4 times of F(x). Only in this option, there is negative relation between F(x) and g(x) with k>1.

Therefore the correct option is C.

answer: 0.26

i used the calculator on google

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
