Question

Please help me with this problem, lots of points!

Answer 1

A f(x) = 1/3x^3

Explanation:

g(x) = x^3

We want f(x) to be vertically compressed

f(x) = ag(x )

a is vertical stretch/compression

|a| > 1 stretches

|a| < 1 compresses

so we need to multiply by a number less than between 0 and 1

If a is negative it is a reflection, which was not asked for

f(x) = 1/3 x^3
