Question

If f(x)=x^2 is vertically compressed by a factor of 8 to g(x), what is the equation that of g(x)

Answer 1

`g(x) = (x^2)/(8)`

Explanation:

The function f(x) is compressed b a factor of 8 to function g(x).

This means that the function f(x) is multiplied by 1/8 (vertical compression) to get g(x)

`f(x)=x^2`

`=> g(x) = 1/8 * x^2\\\\g(x) = (x^2)/(8)`

That is the equation of g(x)
