Question

[URGENT] (15 points) F(x) is defined by the equation f(x) = 3x^2 + 3x - 7. What effect will multiplying

f(x) by 0.5 have on the graph?​

Answer 1

Options (B) and (C).

Explanation:

When a quadratic function 'f' is multiplied by k,

1). If k > 0, function 'f' will be vertically stretched Or horizontally compressed.

2). If 0 < k < 1, function will be vertically compressed Or horizontally stretched.

Given quadratic function is,

f(x) = 3x² + 3x - 7

This function is multiplied by 0.5.

Since 0 < 0.5 < 1, therefore, the function will be compressed vertically Or stretched horizontally.

Therefore, Options B and C are the correct options.
