Answer:

g(x) is a vertical compression of f(x)

Explanation:

Equation of graph 1 :
f(x)=x^2

Equation of graph 2 :
g(x)=(2)/(3)x^2

f(x)→a f(x)

Its is case of vertical stretch or compression

Vertical stretch if |a|>1

Vertical compression if 0<|a|<1

f(x)→a f(x)

So,
x^2
(2)/(3)x^2

So,
a= (2)/(3)=0.67

So,0<|a|<1

So,It is a case of vertical compression

So, g(x) is a vertical compression of f(x)
