If you vertically compress the absolute value parent function, f(x) = |xl, by a

factor of 3, what is the equation of the new function?

The new function would be 3lxl

If y=f(x), then the transformed function will be y=3f(x) because the compression affects the y value, and so the function becomes y=3lxl
