Suppose that F(x) = x² and G(x) = -1/3 (x+4)^2. Which statement best compares the graph of G(x) with the graph of F(x)?
2 answers:
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is shifted 4 units left as seen with (x+4) so x = -4.
The graph is reflected over the x axis as seen with -a
The graph is compressed vertically because the functions a value is less than f(x) =
Answer:
<u>D</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Changes observed :
- Coefficient of x² becomes 1/3 of original, this means it is vertically compressed
- Also, the coefficient has become negative, meaning it is flipped over the x-axis
- x² is now (x + 4)², this means it has shifted 4 units to the left.
The correct option is <u>D</u>.
