the scale factor is the vertical expansion factor.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor of 2 in
g(x) = 2·F(x)
means g(x) is a <em>vertical expansion</em> (not shrink) of F(x) — by a factor of 2.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The equation g(x) could be considered to be ...
g(x) = F(x·√2)
in which case g(x) could be interpreted as a <em>horizontal shrink</em> by a factor of (√2)/2. Squeezing a parabola horizontally has the same effect on its appearance as stretching it vertically.
