Answer: Hello!

The parent function is f(x)=|x| if you want a function g(x) that has a graph narrower than the graph of f(x), then the slope of g(x) must be greater than 1.

where g(x) has the form: f(x) = |ax| where a is a real number, and particularly in this case, greater than one, then an example of this can be if we took an equal to 2, then:

g(x) = |2x| is a function that has a graph narrower than the graph of the parent function.
