The number of oranges that Joe has is a multiple of 6. When he sells one orange, the number of oranges is a multiple of n. If n is a positive integer less than 10, how many possible values are there for n?

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of oranges he has is a multiple of 6, so the number can be

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, etc.

He sells one orange, so now he an have:

5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 35, 41, 47, 53, etc.

All numbers above up to 53 are multiples of 1, so n can be 1.

Also 5 and 35 are multiples of 5, so n can be 5.

All numbers other than 5 and 35 are prime.

let f (x ) is a function and c be a positive real number,   the graph of the function g (x ) = f (cx ) is represented as follows.

when, c > 1,   the function compresses it in the x - direction.

when, 0 < c < 1, the function stretches it.

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2.

the heighest power of x in g ( x ) = (9x )2 is 2, so the parent function is square function.

the equation of parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2 and the parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

so, the functions f and g have the following relationship.

g ( x ) = f ( 9x ).

compare the function g ( x ) = f ( 9x ) with g (x ) = f (cx ).

c = 9 ( > 1 ).

so, the function g (x ) = (9x )2 compresses it in the x - direction.
