Question

F(x)=x^2. What is g(x)

Answer 1

`g(x) = \frac14x^2`

Explanation:

Since f(x) and g(x) share the same top at (0,0), their difference is only a scale factor, so g(x) = ax² but we need to find a.

To find it, we use the given point of g, (2,1)

So g(2) = 1

meaning that

a·2² = 1

4a = 1

a = 1/4
