Suppose f(x)=x^2 and g(x)=-1/5(x-3)^2. Which statement best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x)? A. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) compressed vertically, flipped over the x-axis, and shifted 3 units to the right. B. The graph of G(x) is the graph F(x) compressed vertically, flipped over the x-axis , and shifted 3 units to the left. C. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) stretched vertically, flipped over the x-axis , and shifted 3 units to the left. D. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) stretched vertically, flipped over the x-axis, and shifted 3 units to the right.
Accepted Solution
A:
I'm not sure of the meaning of the word compressed. If it means that G(x) is flattened out then that is what I take compressed to mean.
The graph is compressed by the 1/5. the graph is flipped over the x axis by the minus. the graph is moved 3 units to the right by the - 3 inside the brackets.
