To find the x-intercepts of the original function \( y = 12x - 4 \) and the vertically dilated function, we first need to identify the dilated function. A vertical dilation by a factor of \( k = 6 \) modifies the original function as follows:
\[ y = k(12x - 4) \] \[ y = 6(12x - 4) = 72x - 24 \]
Next, we find the x-intercepts of both functions by setting \( y = 0 \) and solving for \( x \).
-
For the original function \( y = 12x - 4 \): \[ 0 = 12x - 4 \] \[ 12x = 4 \] \[ x = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3} \] The x-intercept is \( \left(\frac{1}{3}, 0\right) \).
-
For the vertically dilated function \( y = 72x - 24 \): \[ 0 = 72x - 24 \] \[ 72x = 24 \] \[ x = \frac{24}{72} = \frac{1}{3} \] The x-intercept is also \( \left(\frac{1}{3}, 0\right) \).
Based on the calculations:
- The original function has an x-intercept of \( \left(\frac{1}{3}, 0\right) \).
- The dilated function has an x-intercept of \( \left(\frac{1}{3}, 0\right) \).
However, none of the provided responses match this result. If I made an error in the step to determine the dilated function or x-intercepts, please advise, and I'll be happy to re-evaluate.
