Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the compound

The compound in question is potassium sulfate, which has the chemical formula \( \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 \).

Step 2: Apply solubility rules

According to general solubility rules for ionic compounds in water:

  • Compounds containing alkali metal ions (such as potassium, \( \text{K}^+ \)) are generally soluble.
  • Sulfates (\( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \)) are generally soluble, with some exceptions (e.g., \( \text{BaSO}_4 \), \( \text{PbSO}_4 \), \( \text{CaSO}_4 \)).
Step 3: Determine solubility

Since \( \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 \) contains the potassium ion, which is an alkali metal ion, it follows the rule that compounds with alkali metal ions are soluble.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Soluble}}\)

Use transformations of f(x)=1/x^2 to graph g(x)=1/(x+6)^2. Which of the following transformations of f(x) need to be applied to graph g(x)? Choose the correct answer below A. The graph of f(x)=1/x^2 should be shifted to the left 6 units to obtain the graph of g(x)=1/(x+6)^2. B. The graph of f(x)=1/x^2 should be shifted down 6 units to obtain the graph of g(x)=1/(x+6)^2 C. The graph of f(x)=1/x^2 should be shifted to the right 6 units to obtain the graph of g(x)=1/(x+6)^2 D. The graph of f(x)=1/x^2 should be shifted up 6 units to obtain the graph of g(x)=1/(x+6)^2.
