Answer 1

Question is not well presented

The parabola y=x² is scaled vertically by a factor of 1/10.

What is the equation of the new parabola?

Answer:

The equation of the new parabola is 0.1x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Parabola: y = x²

Scale = 1/10 = 0.1

The interpretation of this question is that; there's a need to scale the graph in ratio 1:10.

I.e; 1 unit on the parabola is being represented by 10 unit on the scale

So, x (on the new parabola) = 1/10 of old x.

So, the new equation of the parabola = 1/10x²

New equation = 0.1x²

Hence, the equation of the new parabola is calculated as 0.1x²
