Question

Write the equation g(x) of the transformation of the parent graph f(x) = |x| stretched horizontally by a factor of 3.

Answer 1

We can start with: f(x) = |x|

0 < c < 1 means x-direction stretch

y = f(cx)

3 unit horizontal stretch

After: g(x) = |1/3x|

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

g(x) = |1/3x|

Explanation:

f(x) = |x|

y = f(Cx) 0 < C < 1 stretches it in the x-direction

g(x) = |1/3x|
