If you horizontally stretch the linear parent function, f(x) = x, by a factor of 3, what is the equation of the new function?
A. g(x) = x - 3
B. g(x) = 3x
O C. g(x) = 3 - x
D. g(x) = 3 *
SUBMIT

The equation of the new function is

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontally stretching a function:

Horizontally stretching a function f(x), by a factor of a, means that:

In this question:

, horizontally stretched by a factor of 3, so , and:

The equation of the new function is

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;

b
