Answer: Vertical Stretch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of manufacturing x refrigerators is given by the function : $f(x)=2x^2+6000$

If the cost doubles fr the year 2011 owing to higher raw material prices, then we multiply the given function by 2, then we get a new function :

$g(x)=2(2x^2+6000)=4x^2+12000$ which represents a vertical stretch in the graph.

∵ 2 is a positive constant greater than 1 which is multiplied to the parent function f(x). So by the definition of vertical stretch the parent function will be vertically stretched .
