Question 1204963: I realize that this isn't really an equation question, but I don't know what catigory it is. This question has two parts.
This is the question? First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B.
Part A
DOWNLOADS Hannah wants to download songs. She researches the price to download songs from Site F. Hannah wrote the function f(x)=x,
which represents the cost in dollars for x songs downloaded that cost $1.00 each.

a. Hannah researches the price to download songs from Site G. Write a function g(x) to represent the cost in dollars for x songs downloaded that cost $1.29 each.
Multiple choice question.
A)
g(x)=1.29x

B)
g(x)=129x

C)
g(x)=1.29+x

D)
g(x)=1.29−x
Part B
b. Describe the graph of g(x) compared to the graph of f(x).
Multiple choice question.
A)
The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x)=x
stretched vertically by a factor of 129.

B)
The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x)=x
compressed vertically by a factor of 1.29.

C)
The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x)=x
stretched horizontally by a factor of 1.29.

D)
The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x)=x
stretched vertically by a factor of 1.29.

Hannah initially thinks songs cost $1.00 each.
Instead the actual price is $1.29

So we go from f(x) = x to g(x) = 1.29x

Since the jump from $1 to $1.29 is "times 1.29", it means that we'll vertically stretch the graph of f(x) by a factor of 1.29

Example: A point like (1, 1) on f(x) moves to (1, 1.29) on g(x).


Summary
g(x) = 1.29x
stretched vertically by a factor of 1.29
