Answer:

Options A and B

Explanation:

To easily solve this question, we can graph each of the equations and see which one shows a vertical compression ( the values of f(x) decrease for the same value of x)

Using a graphinng tool (please see attached picture), we can easily see that

the functions

A.

G(x) = (3/4) x^2

B.

G(x) = (1/2*x)^2

Show a vertical compression of the graph, as they are below the parent function f(x) = x^2
