The correct answer is B

Explain

We have

F(x)= x^2

G(x) = f(3x)

It obtained by substituting x= 3

We have


G(x) = (3x)^2
G(x) = 9x^2


So

G(x) = 9x ^2

When X= 1

g(1)= 9(1)^2 = 9

X= -1


g(-1) = 9 (-1) ^2 = 9

So now

This is the only valid and visible in the graph B

We can see x= 1 or x= -1

The graph shoots up to the value of 9


Glad I can help you

Good Luck :D

Answer:

B

Explanation:

We begin with the given function
f(x)=x^2

To find
g(x), we can plug
3x into the function
f(x)=x^2


f(x)=x^2\\\\f(3x)=(3x)^2\\\\f(3x)=9x^2\\\\g(x)=9x^2

Now that we know the equation of
g(x), we can find the graph that is equivalent to it.

The only graph that is even close to the function
g(x)=9x^2 is B, so that is our answer.
