My frined and I had a test and afterwards we were debating whether the following question should've had a k value of 2 or 1/2?
the question stated that y=√x was translated in the following way: vertical compression by factor of 1/3, reflection along x-axis, translation left 3 and down 4, and a horizontal stretch by a factor of 1/2. Now I said the equation was f(x)=-1/3√2(x+3) -4 but my friend replaced the 2 with 1/2. Who would be right in this situation? I'm still a bit foggy with the whole k-value thing. Thanks
