Answer:
(a) The corresponding interval is [tex](a^2\;,\;b^2)[/tex]
(b) Equation: y = m.(x)^[tex]^{\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + c
Explanation:
The transformation from x to x* is of square root. Mathematically,
x* = √x
or x = (x*)²
Part (a):
It means that an interval of (a , b) in x* can be transformed into x by taking square of each term of the interval value.
Therefore, interval in x will be (a² , b²).
Part (b):
It is given that x* and y are linearly related. Therefore, we can use linear equation to equate them.
y = m.(x*) + c
Substituting x* = √x in above equation, we get
y = m.(x)^[tex]^{\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + c
This equation relates y to x.
