Question

Suppose f(x) = x2. What is the graph of g(x)= 1/3f(x)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of f(x) = x^2 is a parabola opening up and with vertex at (0, 0).

The graph of (1/3)f(x) is also a parabola that opens up and has vertex at (0, 0), but this new graph has been vertically compressed by a factor of 3.

Answer 2

The graph of g(x) = 1/3 f(x) is parabola. (as shown in the following image.)

What is the graph of a function?

"The graph of a function f is the set of all points in the plane of the form (x,  f(x))."

For given example,

f(x) = x²

The graph of a function f(x) would be a parabola with vertex at origin (0, 0).

And g(x) = 1/3 f(x)

⇒ g(x) = 1/3 (x²)

We know, the greater the quadratic coefficient, the narrower the parabola and the lesser the quadratic coefficient, the wider the parabola.

Since for a parabola g(x) the quadratic coefficient is 1/3.

This means the parabola g(x) is wider than the parabola f(x)

So, the graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) scaled by 1/3 units.

The graph of g(x) is parabola (as shown in following figure)
