Question

Suppose you want to crop 4 inches from the right side of a photo you have and then resize the photo by making it 40% of its cropped size. (that is, each side length is 40% of that side length after it was cropped.) if g is the function that inputs the cropped photo length (in inches) and outputs the resized photo length (in inches), write a formula to define g . use n as the input variable.

Answer 1

The function to resize a cropped photo, represented as g(n), is calculated by taking 40% of the cropped photo's length, which is represented as g(n) = 0.40 × (n - 4).

The function g for resizing a cropped photo can be defined using the input variable n, which represents the length of the cropped photo. After cropping 4 inches from the photo, the new length is n - 4 inches. To find the resized photo length, you would take 40% of this cropped length. Hence, the function g(n) which outputs the resized photo length in inches is g(n) = 0.40 × (n - 4).
