Question

if you vertically compress the quadratic parent function f(x)=x by multiplying by 1/2 what is the equation of the new function

Answer 1

The equation of the new function if you vertically compress the quadratic parent function f(x)=x by multiplying by 1/2 is f(x)=1/2x. This can be obtained by simply multiplying both sides of the equation f(x)=x with 1/2. Therefore, the equation of the new function is f(x)=1/2x.
