Question

Refering to the equation, tell how

Answer 1

Answer:

  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 vertical expansion (not shrink) of F(x) — by a factor of 2.

Additional comment

The equation g(x) could be considered to be ...

  g(x) = F(x·√2)

in which case g(x) could be interpreted as a horizontal shrink by a factor of (√2)/2. Squeezing a parabola horizontally has the same effect on its appearance as stretching it vertically.
