Describe the transformations required to obtain the graph of the function f(x) from the graph of the function g(x). f(x) = 6 cos x ; g(x) = cos x

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

g(x) is 1/6 of f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm vertical or horizontal?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

none

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are the possible answers :o Vertical stretch by a factor of 6 Horizontal shrink by a factor of 1/6 Horizontal stretch by a factor of 6 Vertical shrink by a factor of 1/6

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

oh i get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any way u can explain it to me?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

check this out http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cos+x%2C+6cos+x

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

u have this \[ f(x)=6\cdot g(x) \]

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

so it's a vertical stretch by a factor of 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh i see it thx :D

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

u r welcome
