Question

The graph of f(x) = x2 was transformed to create the graph of g(x) = (2x)2 – 4. Which of these describes the transformation from the graph of f to the graph of g?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Horizontal Stretch and vertical shift down 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying by a number greater than one, its a stretch. When it is less than one it is a compression.

2 is greater than 1 so its a horizontal stretch.

When there is a number outside of the () then that number determines how high or how low you go depending on the sign.

Our number is -4 so we go down 4.
