Answer:
D) y = 1/4 x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
For these functions, the leading coefficient can be considered to be either ...
the vertical scale factor (larger ⇒ narrower)
the square of the inverse of the horizontal scale factor.
In the latter case, the horizontal scale factor will be larger (wider) when its inverse and the square of its inverse are smaller.
Either way, you're looking for the smallest leading coefficient: 1/4.
Using the stated transformation, the graph of g(2x) is given at the end of the answer.
<h3>Horizontal stretch and compression</h3>An horizontal stretch or an horizontal compression happens when a constant is multiplied at the domain of the function, as follows:
g(x) = f(ax).
The definition of stretch or compression depends on the value of the constant a, as follows:
In this problem, the rule is:
f(x) = g(2x).
Meaning that f(x) is an horizontal compression by a factor of 1/2 of g(x), and then the vertices are given as follows:
That is, in each vertex, the x-coordinate was divided by 2, and thus the graph with these vertices is given at the end of the answer.
