Answer:
C. g(x) = 4x²
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for a parabola is
y = ax² + bx +c
Since ƒ(x) = x², a=1, b =0, c =0
For g(x), the vertex is still at the origin, so
g(x) = ax²
The graph passes through (1,4).
Insert the coordinates of the point.
4 = a(1)²
a = 4
g(x) = 4x²
The figure below shows that the graph of g(x) = 4x² passes through the point (1, 4).
we have
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Factor the leading coefficient
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
Rewrite as perfect squares
-----> equation in vertex form
therefore
the answer is the option C
