If you vertically stretch the exponential function f(x)=2^x by a factor of 3 what is the equation of the new function
1 answer:
The new equation will become f(x) = 3().
The given information is the stretch factor which is 3 and the equation f(x)=.
When there is a vertical strecth factor, you need to multiply the equation by the stretch factor.
By stretching the function, the value of y has to be multiplied by 3, will now be equal to 3f(x)
The new equation will become f(x) = 3().

Note that f(x) as given is <em>not</em> invertible. By definition of inverse function,
which is a cubic polynomial in with three distinct roots, so we could have three possible inverses, each valid over a subset of the domain of f(x).
Choose one of these inverses by restricting the domain of f(x) accordingly. Since a polynomial is monotonic between its extrema, we can determine where f(x) has its critical/turning points, then split the real line at these points.
f'(x) = 3x² - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = ±1/√3
So, we have three subsets over which f(x) can be considered invertible.
• (-∞, -1/√3)
• (-1/√3, 1/√3)
• (1/√3, ∞)
By the inverse function theorem,
where f(a) = b.
Solve f(x) = 2 for x :
x³ - x + 2 = 2
x³ - x = 0
x (x² - 1) = 0
x (x - 1) (x + 1) = 0
x = 0 or x = 1 or x = -1
Then can be one of
• 1/f'(-1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (-∞, -1/√3);
• 1/f'(0) = -1, if we restrict to (-1/√3, 1/√3); or
• 1/f'(1) = 1/2, if we restrict to (1/√3, ∞)
