What does a multiplier/divider outside the function do to the graph?

If the coefficient squared is greater than one (multiplication), it stretches the graph vertically by the factor of the coefficient.

If the coefficient squared is less than one (division), it compresses the graph vertically by the factor of the coefficient.
