Question

Suppose that F(x)= x^2 and G(x) 4/5 x^2. Which statements best compares the graph of G(x) with the graph of F(x)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

C. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) compressed vertically.

If, for example, x = 1, then F(1) = 1^2 = 1, while G(1) = (4/5)(1^2) = 4/5.

Note that G(1) < F(1); we say G(x) is a vertical compression of F(x).
