Answer:
The statement which best compares the function F(x) and G(x) is that the graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) stretched vertically.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the difference between the two functions is in the coefficent which multiplies the square function, 1 and 2/3 respectively in F(x) and G(x). So, as the coefficient are positive and is minor for G(x) than for F(x), the values for G(x) will be smaller and thus the graph of G(x) would be below the graph of F(x). Therefore the graph for G(x) is it compressed vertically respect to F(x). The explanation here is ore understandable by looking at the illustration attached.

There is a property called "Quotient of powers property", which states that:
Where "a" is the common base and "m" and "n" are exponents.
For this case, you have:
Then, in order to find the quotient, you must apply the Quotient of powers property. You need to write the common base (in this case is 3) and then subtract the exponents.
So, you get that the quotient is:
