Describe the Transformations and Give the Equation for the Graph $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \sqrt { \mathrm { x } }$

question 124

Multiple Choice

Describe the transformations and give the equation for the graph.
-

• A) It is the graph of \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \sqrt { \mathrm { x } }\) translated 4 units to the right, stretched vertically by a factor of 3 and translated 2 units up. The equation is \(y = 3 \sqrt { x - 4 } + 2\)
• B) It is the graph of \(f ( x ) = \sqrt { x }\) translated 4 units to the right, shrunken vertically by a factor of \(\frac { 1 } { 3 }\) and translated 2 units up. The equation is \(y = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \sqrt { x + 4 } + 2\)
• C) It is the graph of \(f ( x ) = \sqrt { x }\) translated 4 units to the right, shrunken vertically by a factor of \(\frac { 1 } { 3 }\) and translated 2 units up. The equation is \(y = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \sqrt { x - 4 } + 2\)
• D) It is the graph of \(f ( x ) = \sqrt { x }\) translated 4 units to the right, stretched vertically by a factor of 3 and translated 2 units up. The equation is \(y = 3 \sqrt { x + 4 } + 2\)

Awareness of various types of biases (e.g., selection, experimenter) that can affect research validity.

Ability to identify operational definitions within experimental contexts.

Knowledge of the impact of confounding variables on research outcomes.

Understanding of the concept of double-blind studies and their importance in controlling biases.

A statistical method for estimating the relationships among variables, often used for prediction and forecasting in finance.

Correlation Coefficient

A statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between two variables, ranging from -1 to 1, where 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation and -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation.

Standard Deviation

A statistical measure that represents the dispersion or variability of a data set or investment returns, indicating how much the values in the set deviate from the mean.

Sharpe Ratio

A measure used to assess the risk-adjusted return of an investment by comparing its excess return to its standard deviation of returns.
