3. Consider the function f (x) = and the parent function y = 4x •
The parent function can be transformed intof(x) with a vertical stretch by a factor of 2, but it is also possible to
obtain the same functionf (x) by translating the function left by - unit. Why is that? Explain your reasoning using
exponent laws. [21

6. The temperature of a cold bowl of gazpacho (chilled tomatosoup) as it warms up under room temperature
during a hot summer day can be modelled by the function T(t) = —26(0.85)t + 30, where T represents the
temperature of the soup in Celsius, while t represents the number of minutes since the soup is removed from
the refrigerator. [1/1/1]
a) How cold was the soup when it was first taken out of the fridge?
b) If Ms. Chou forgot about the soup for 10 minutes because she was busy marking, what's the
temperature of the soup when she finally remembered to drink it?
c) The horizontal asymptote of the function is y = 30. What does it represent in context of the scenario?
Explain your reasoning.
