Which statement describes the graph of function g compared to function f?

F(x)=6^x-2
G(x)=0.4(6)^x-2

A. The graph of g is a horizontal compression to the graph of function f.

B. The graph of g is a vertical compression of the graph of function f.

C. The graph of g is a horizontal stretch of the function f

D. The graph is a vertical stretch of the graph of function f.

Answer: OPTION B.

Explanation:

Below are some transformations for a function f(x):

1. If
f(ax) and
a>1, the function is compressed horizontally by a factor of
(1)/(a).

2. If
f(ax) and
0<a<1, the function is stretched horizontally by a factor of
(1)/(a).

3. If
bf(x) and
0<b<1, the function is compressed vertically by a factor of "b".

4. If
bf(x) and
b>1, the function is stretched vertically by a factor of "b".

In this case you have the function f(x):


f(x)=6^(x-2)

And the function g(x):


g(x)=0.4(6)^(x-2)

So, you can identify that:


g(x)=bf(x) and
0<b<1

Therefore, the graph of the function g(x) is a vertical compression of the graph of function f(x).
