Question

What is the effect on the graph of f(x) = x2 when it is transformed to h(x) = 1/6x2 - 9?

Answer 1

Using shifting concepts, it is found that the correct option is:

B. The graph of f(x) is vertically compressed by a factor of 6 and shifted 9 units down.

---------------------------

• The parent function is $f(x) = x^2$.
• The first transformation is a multiplication by 1/6. Multiplying by 1/a is the same as vertically compressing by a factor of a, thus, it was vertically compressed by a factor of 6.
• Then, 9 was subtracted. When a is subtracted from the function, it means that it was shifted down a units, thus, it was shifted down 9 units, and the correct option is B.
