Yikes! While traveling near a riverbank, you notice a section of quicksand that you're trying to avoid. The information that you need is shown in the diagram. How far is it across the quicksand, x?
Mathematically show your work to figure this out.

please help!

step-by-step explanation:

let f (x ) is a function and c be a positive real number,   the graph of the function g (x ) = f (cx ) is represented as follows.

when, c > 1,   the function compresses it in the x - direction.

when, 0 < c < 1, the function stretches it.

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2.

the heighest power of x in g ( x ) = (9x )2 is 2, so the parent function is square function.

the equation of parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2 and the parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

so, the functions f and g have the following relationship.

g ( x ) = f ( 9x ).

compare the function g ( x ) = f ( 9x ) with g (x ) = f (cx ).

c = 9 ( > 1 ).

so, the function g (x ) = (9x )2 compresses it in the x - direction.
