Question

HELP! the function f(x)=200/x+10 models the cost per student of a field trip when x students go on the trip. how is the parent function f(x)=1/x transformed to create the function f(x)=200/x+10

Answer 1

It moves up 10 units

Explanation:

f(x) =1/x to 200/x + 10

= 200/x

If we shift up 10 units, we get:

f(x) = 200/x + 10

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

stretch of 200 shift up 10 units

Explanation:

f(x)=1/x to 200/x+10

Multiply by 200 means a stretch of 200

f(x) = 200/x

Now shift up 10 units

f(x) = 200/x + 10
