Question

Suppose f(x)=x^2.What is the graph of g(x)=f(5x)?

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=f(5x)

this means plugging in 5x for x in f(x):

g(x)=f(5x)=(5x)^2

which can be further simplified:

5^2x^2=25x^2

Since the coefficient of x being larger means a vertical stretch, the answer is D

example:

g(2)=f(5*2)=f(10)=f(10^2)=100

so for g(x), it has the coordinates (2,100), which is most definitely not C
