EXAMPLE 5 Given the function ƒ(x) = x4 - 4x3 + 10 (Figure 1.35a), find formulas to
(a) compress the graph horizontally by a factor of 2 followed by a reflection across the

(b) compress the graph vertically by a factor of 2 followed by a reflection across the

a reflection across the y-axis. (c) The vertical compression of y = ƒ(x) in part (a) by a factor of 2, followed by a reflection across
the x-axis (Example 5).

Solution
(a) We multiply x by 2 to get the horizontal compression, and by -1 to give reflection
across the y-axis. The formula is obtained by substituting -2x for x in the right-hand
side of the equation for ƒ:
y = ƒ(-2x) = (-2x)4 - 4(-2x)3 + 10
= 16x4 + 32x3 + 10.

18. Let ƒ(x) = ax + b and g(x) = cx + d. What condition must be double when invested at r percent compounded continuously,
satisfied by the constants a, b, c, d in order that (ƒ ∘ g)(x) = divide r into 70.” For instance, an amount of money invested at
(g ∘ ƒ)(x) for every value of x? 5% will double in about 70>5 = 14 years. If you want it to dou-
ble in 10 years instead, you have to invest it at 70>10 = 7%.
Theory and Examples Show how the rule of 70 is derived. (A similar “rule of 72” uses
