Question

The graph of f(x) = 1/x^2 is vertically compressed by a factor of 1/2 units , then shifted to the left 5 units and down 4 units.

Answer 1

Answer:

  G(x) = (1/2)(1/(x +5)^2 -4

Step-by-step explanation:

G(x) = bf(x -h) +k

represents the function f(x) shifted right h units, up k units and scaled vertically by a factor of b. Your problem statement tells you ...

  f(x) = 1/x^2, b = 1/2, h = -5, k = -4

so your G(x) is ...

  G(x) = (1/2)(1/(x +5)^2 -4
