Question

If you horizontally compress the quadratic parent function, F(x) = x^2, by 7 units, what is the equation of the new function?

Answer 1

To make a horizontally compress by 7 units, we need to change x by 7x on the original function.

So, if f(x) = x^2, the horizontal compress by 7 units is:

g(x) = (7x)^2

Answer: A. g(x) = (7x)^2
