Question

The graph of g(x) resembles the graph of f(x)=x^2, but it has been changed. Which of these is the equation of g(x)?

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation where, if x is equal to 3, g(x) is equal to 1, because g(x) passes through the point (3,1)

Then, replacing x by 3 on every option we get:

$g(x)=(\frac{1}{3}x)^2= (\frac{1}{3}3)^2=1\\g(x)=(\frac{1}{9}x)^2= (\frac{1}{9}3)^2=\frac{1}{9}\\g(x)= \frac{1}{3}x^2= \frac{1}{3}3^2=3\\g(x)=3x^2=3*3^2=27$

So, the answer is A. because g(x) is equal to 1
