If f(x) = x ^ 2 is vertically compressed by a factor of 9 to g(x) , what is the equation of g(x) ?

Answer:
[tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{9} \,x^2[/tex] which agrees with option A in the list of possible answers
Step-by-step explanation:
A vertical compression by a factor 9 is represented by the transformation:
[tex]\frac{1}{9} \,f(x) = \frac{1}{9} \,x^2[/tex]
Therefore the answer to the problem is:
[tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{9} \,x^2[/tex]
