Question

Write the function rule g(x) after the given transformations of the graph of f(x)=4x.

reflection in the y-axis; vertical compression by a factor of 1/8

Answer 1

have you covered transformations yet?

Answer 2

Hello, yes the only thing we've went over is Vertical translations and Horizontal translations.

Answer 3

\(\large \begin{array}{rrrllll}
f(x)={\color{red}{ 4x}}
\\ \quad \\ \quad \\
-{\color{red}{ \square }}&\textit{reflection over the y-axis}\\
-\cfrac{1}{8}{\color{red}{ \square }}&\textit{vertical compression by }\cfrac{1}{8}
\end{array}\)

though 1/8 is not really a compression of the graph, more like it'll expand it
but I gather that's just the wording used

Answer 4

hmmm actually one sec... shoot. I did a reflection over the x-axis...

Answer 5

hmmm actually.... anyhow

4x is just a line... I was thinking quadratic... so... tis ok, that'd be a reflection over the y-axis

Answer 6

okay, thank you so much kind soul, god bless you! You may have helped a kid graduate this year. :')
