Part A: Describe two types of transformations that can be used to transform f(x) to g(x). (2 points) Part B: Solve for k in each type of transformation. (4 points) Part C: Write an equation for each type of transformation that can be used to transform f(x) to g(x). (4 points)

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
