Answer:

A.)
g(x)=(1)/(2) x^2

Explanation:

Process of elimination is probably the easiest thing here. It can't be D, because that would result in a graph more stretched out than the parent function f(x). B and C are the same exact functions as well, so one of those couldn't be the answer because it wouldn't make sense to choose between them, leaving A.

If we were to check mathematically by using the coordinate given:


g(x)=(1)/(2) x^2


g(2)=(1)/(2) (2)^2


g(2)=(1)/(2) (4)


g(2)=2
