Which best describes how the graph of g(x) =1/9sqrt(x) relates to the graph of the parent function, f(x) =sqrt(x) ? The graph of
g(x) is shrunk vertically by a factor of 1/9. The graph of g(x) is stretched vertically by a factor of 1/9. The graph of g(x) is shrunk vertically by a factor of 1/3. The graph of g(x) is stretched vertically by a factor of 1/3.
The graph g(x) is vertically shrunk by a factor of 1/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Parent Graph: f(x) = a√(bx - c) + d
Since we are only modifying <em>a</em>, we are dealing with vertical shrink (a < 1) and stretch (a > 1). Since 1/9 < 1, we have a vertical shrink by a factor of 1/9.
