Question

What is the effect on the graph of f(x) = x² when it is transformed to

h(x) = 2x2 +15?
OA. The graph of f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 2 and shifted
15 units up.
OB. The graph of f(x) is horizontally stretched by a factor of 2 and
shifted 15 units up.
OC. The graph of f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 2 and shifted
15 units to the left.
D. The graph of f(x) is horizontally compressed by a factor of 2 and
shifted 15 units to the left.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

h(x) = 2x² + 15 = 2×f(x) + 15

so, every y value of f(x) is multiplied by 2, and that means the whole curve is stretched up and down (vertically).

and then we add constantly 15 to every y value. that moves then the previous stretched result up by 15 units.
