PLS HELPLPPPLPLLLPPL Let f(x)=1/2x^2+4. The function g(x) is a vertical stretch of f(x) by a factor of 4. What is the equation of g(x)? Enter your answer in the box. g(x) =

Hero:

In other words, g(x) = 4f(x).

plshelpmeoml:

write it in like that? 4f(x)

Hero:

No, you have to multiply the expression for f(x) by 4.

plshelpmeoml:

so.. what is it lol

Hero:

You tell me ... after multiplying the expression for f(x) by 4.

plshelpmeoml:

smh.

Hero:

What's the matter. Don't feel like doing the work?

plshelpmeoml:

pretty much x'D

plshelpmeoml:

fine do you have the answer?

Hero:

Well, if you don't feel like doing it, then neither do I.

plshelpmeoml:

i'll do it if you're sure you know it

Hero:

I know it.

plshelpmeoml:

okay one sec lemme solve it

plshelpmeoml:

i got x^2+32/2 ..

Hero:

If you apply 4f(x), please show me your setup for that.

plshelpmeoml:

oml.

plshelpmeoml:

hold up i did it once more to double check and i got 2x^2+4

Hero:

@plshelpmeoml can you please show me your setup for 4f(x)?

plshelpmeoml:

can you pls tell me if it's correct first? @Hero

Hero:

Put it this way. If you graph both and look at the y value of the vertex for each, the value of g(x) should be 4 times that of f(x).

plshelpmeoml:

:/ yo why is this one question taking forever???!?!? jeezuz

plshelpmeoml:

hey if you ain't gon give it to me straight up then i'll ask someone else.

Hero:

I AM helping. I just gave you the biggest hint of all.

plshelpmeoml:

i just want the answer not help

Hero:

We don't give just answers here. If you want that, go to JustAnswers site.

plshelpmeoml:

aha funny.

Hero:

Maybe this will help, but next time, be more willing to participate because I'm not going to help you like this anymore. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/tenqf4aien

plshelpmeoml:

so it's 2x^2+16

plshelpmeoml:

@Hero

Hero:

Yes

plshelpmeoml:

ok thanks

Hero:

By the way, check out this: You can actually type 4f(x) and it superimposes over g(x) to confirm the same graph: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/xtgxiz7bm3
