The give quadratic function is dilated by the given coefficient, and shifted
horizontally to the left.
(a) The transformation of the common function f(x) are;
- f(t) is made more wider than f(x)
- f(t) is shifted more to the left than the common function f(x).
Please find attached the required graph created with MS Excel
(b) Where t = 0, represent the year 2,000 we have;
- f(t) = 0.0037·(t + 24.979)²
(c) The mortgage debt in the year 2014 is M ≈ $5.622 trillion
Reasons:
The given function is f(t) = 0.0037·(t + 14.979)²
Year 1990 is t = 0
(a) The given common function is; f(x) = x²
The transformation of the quadratic function are;
The coefficient 0.0037 widens the common function such that f(t) is wider
than f(x).
The constant, 14.979 added to the variable, t, shifts the graph of the
common function horizontally to the left.
Therefore;
- f(t) is wider and shifted to the left more than the common function f(x)
Please find attached the required graph over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 19 created with MS Excel.
(b) The amount of mortgage debt in 2,000 is given as follows;
With t' = 0 represent the year 2,000, we have;
At year 1990, t' = -10
Which gives, t' = t + 10
From which we have;
f(t) = 0.0037·(t + 14.979)² = 0.0037·(t' + 10 + 14.979)² = 0.0037·(t' + 24.979)²
Therefore;
The function with t = 0 representing the year 2,000 is presented as follows;
f(t) = 0.0037·(t + 24.979)²
(c) In the year 2014, we have;
t = 2014 - 2000 = 14
Which gives;
f(14) = 0.0037·(14 + 24.979)² ≈ 5.622
The mortgage debt in the year 2014 is M ≈ $5.622 trillion dollars
