Answer

$ 0.00001132x^3$ Horizontal stretch of $H(x)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $H(x)=0.00004636x^3$ Determine the function so that $x$ represents the speed in kilometers per hour: $H\left(\dfrac{x}{1.6}\right)=0.00004636\left(\dfrac{x}{1.6}\right)^3=\dfrac{0.00004636}{4.096}x^3\approx 0.00001132x^3$ The graph of the function $H\left(\dfrac{x}{1.6}\right)$ is a horizontal stretch of $H(x)$.
