Answer:
When you multiply the whole function by a constant, which can be identified as "C", you can have the following situations:
- If the function is stretched.
- - If the function is compressed.
You have that 0<1/4<1
Therefore, you can conclude that be compressed vertically.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is f (x) = x²
The new function is f 1 (x) = 1/4 x².
The general function of the form is f(x) = a · x²
i) If |a| < 1 the graph is compressed vertically by a factor of a.
ii) If |a| > 1 the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of a.
Here: a = 1/4 < 1
