the transformation from f to g represents a __________ stretch. f(x)= square root of x and g(x)=square root of 0.4 times x
The transformation from f to g represents a stretch in the x direction by a factor of 1.59.
f(x) = √x
g(x) = √(0.4x)
g(x) = √(0.4x) = √(0.4x) = √0.4 √x
g(x) = √0.4 √x Recall f(x) = √x
g(x) = √0.4 f(x)
Therefore:
The transformation from f to g represents a ____√0.4______ stretch.
Hope this explains it.
