Answer:

The equation of the new function is g(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a function f(x).

a*f(x), a > 1, is vertically stretching f(x) a units. Otherwise, if a < 1, we are vertically compressing f(x) by a units.

f(x - a) is shifting f(x) a units to the right.

f(x + a) is shifting f(x) a units to the left

In this question:

f(x) = \sqrt{x}

Vertically compressing by 1/2:

This is the same as multiplying the function by 1/2. So

\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{x} = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}

The equation of the new function is g(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}

<h3>Answer: Check out the screenshots below.</h3>

=========================================

Explanations:

Part 1

For the first box, we use the log rule that log(A)+log(B) = log(A*B)

Then in the second box, we'll convert to exponential form. The logs are assumed to be base 10.

The third box then factors and uses the zero product property.

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

Part 2

We check each solution generated in part 1.

Plugging x = 5/3 will lead to the same number on each side. Therefore, x = 5/3 is a true solution.

In contrast, plugging x = -2 leads to a false equation. Recall that the domain of y = log(x) is x > 0. This means we cannot replace x with negative numbers. The value x = -2 is extraneous.

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

Part 3

There's not much to explain here that isn't already done so on the screenshot below.
