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
