Question

Please help!!! Which function is a horizontal compression of its parent function f(x)=x^7 by a factor of 4

O q(x)=(1/4)x^7
O r(x)=(4x)^7
O s(x)=4x^7
O t(x)=1/4 x^7

Answer 1

we are given

`f(x)=x^7`

Horizontal Compression:

Suppose, we want to compress a function f(x) horizontally by 'a' units

so, we can replace x as ax

f(x)---->f(ax)

Here, it is compressed horizontally by 4 units

so, we can replace x as 4x

so, we get

`f(4x)=(4x)^7`

so,

`r(x)=(4x)^7`.............Answer
