Question

The transformation from f to g represents a __________ stretch. f(x) = Square root of x. and g(x) = 6Square root of x.

Answer 1

Are your option choices Vertical and Horizontal?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Uh-oh, i thought your problem was x squared, not square root, sorry, let me revise my answer

Answer 4

i know i was going to say that i was confused

Answer 5

So it comes down to the same procedure really, you look at the general form of a sqrt graph\[y=a \sqrt{x}\]a is still the slope, except we're going off to the right since that's what a sqrt graph looks like (attached as a file), so what happens when,\[slope=\frac{ rise }{ run }=\frac{ 6 }{ 1 }\]that means, from the original graph, starting at the vertex (0,0), you go up 6 units, and to the right 1 unit, likewise, and from that, you see whether or not the new graph is being stretched either horizontally compared to the original, or vertically

Answer 6

In the picture, only look at the top half of the graph, the bottom half is irrelevant for your question, unless you were supposed to take the positive and negative square root

Answer 7

so its being stretched vertically

Answer 8

Awesome! you got it

Answer 9

thank you
