Concept explainers
(a)
The graph of the function using graphical utility.
(a)
Answer to Problem 61E
The graphs get increases on both the positive and negative axis.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The horsepower model is
Formula used:
The x axis represents the horizontal direction and y axis represents the vertical direction.
Calculation:
Use a graphing utility to graph the function and rewrite the horsepower function so that x represents the speed in kilometres per hour.
The horsepower model is
Conclusion:
The graph gets increases on both the positive and negative axis.
(b)
The type of transformation that is applied to the horsepower function.
(b)
Answer to Problem 61E
The transformation is a vertical stretching by a factor of 1.6.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The horsepower model is
Formula used:
The x axis represents the horizontal direction and y axis represents the vertical direction.
Calculation:
Substitute
Thus, the transformation is a vertical stretching by a factor of 1.6.
