Question

Select the correct answer. If , which statement is true? if g(x) = f(1/3x)

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The graph of function f is stretched horizontally by a scale factor of 3 to create the graph of function g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules for linear transformations are that

 g(x) = a·f(b·(x-c)) +d

stretches the graph vertically by a factor of "a" (before the shift)

compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of "b" (before the shift)

shifts it to the right by amount "c"

shifts it up by amount "d".

Your equation has b=1/3, so the graph is compressed by a factor of 1/3, which is equivalent to a stretch by a factor of 3.

The appropriate choice of description is ...

 b) the graph of g(x) is horizontally stretched by a factor of 3
