Answer:
The equation of the new function is
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose we have a function f(x).
a*f(x), a > 1, is vertically stretching f(x) a units. Otherwise, if a < 1, we are vertically compressing f(x) by a units.
f(x - a) is shifting f(x) a units to the right.
f(x + a) is shifting f(x) a units to the left
In this question:
Vertically compressing by 1/2:
This is the same as multiplying the function by 1/2. So
The equation of the new function is
