Question

The amounts M (in billions of dollars) of home mortgage debt outstanding in the United States from 1990 through 2004 can be approximated by the function below where t = 0 represents 1990.

(a) Describe the transformation of the parent function f(t) = t2.
The graph of M(t) is the graph of f(t) 1 ---Select--- stretched vertically shrunk horizontally shrunk vertically stretched horizontally by a factor of 2 and 3 ---Select--- shifted horizontally to the right shifted vertically upward shifted horizontally to the left shifted vertically downward 4 unit(s).

(b) Use a graphing

what i have to do?

anonymous · Answer

well, the shifting up means increase in y (+y)
shifting right means increase in x (+x)

Shifting down means decrease in y (-y)
Shifting left means decrease in x (-x)

It's asking you to graph it, where you start at year 1990 for zero. (t=0)

anonymous · Answer

can you graph it ?

anonymous · Answer

M(t) = 32.3t2 + 3769 

is 32.3t2 meaning 32.3(2) ?

anonymous · Answer

32.3t^2
