Question

If the graph y= x^2 it’s coefficient of x^2 is multiply by 4 what change is in the graph

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

vertically stretched by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Each point on the graph is 4 times the distance from the x-axis than it was formerly. The graph is stretched vertically by a factor of 4.

Additional comment

Here, the transformation g(x) = 4f(x) for f(x) = x² is fully equivalent to g(x) = f(2x). The latter represents a horizontal compression by a factor of 2. That is, each point on the graph moves to half its previous distance from the y-axis.
