SOLUTION

From the original function


f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}

a vertical stretch means multiplying f(x) by a number greater than 1. So a vertical stretch by a factor of 4 means multiplying f(x) by 4 so we have


4\sqrt[3]{x}

A horizontal shrink means dividing the graph by that factor, bringing it closer to the y-axis, so the x-coordinate should be divided by that factor.

Hence a horizontal shift by a factor of 1/3 means dividing x by 1/3, which is same as multiplying x by 3, so we have


\begin{gathered} =4\sqrt[3]{x*3} \\ g(x)=4\sqrt[3]{3x} \end{gathered}

Hence Mike is correct.

Also let us compare their graphs

This is Mike's graph

And this is Lucy's graph

You can see that Mike's graph is more stretched (by a factor of 4) than that of Lucy (by a factor of 3)

Hence Mike is correct
