would it be vertical?

campbell_st · Answer

here is an online graphing sight that will allow you to graph both curves and then you can see the difference. An explain it in your own words https://www.desmos.com/calculator

i got Horizontal stretch by a factor of 6 is it right? @campbell_st

campbell_st · Answer

for me I would have thought the change was in the vertical height of the curve

anonymous · Answer

i know it is definetly 6, but i cant tell if it is vertical or horizontal

campbell_st · Answer

well go and graph them... just enter the equations as you've written them here

anonymous · Answer

i did..

campbell_st · Answer

so which way was the change...?

campbell_st · Answer

do both curves complete a full cycle over the same horizontal distance..?

anonymous · Answer

yes
