Question

The parabola y=x^2 is scaled vertically by a factor of 1/10

What is the equation of the new parabola?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to scale by a factor of 1/10 so |a| = 1/10. This means that the graph is compressed vertically.

We do not reflect across the x axis so a = 1/10.

The new parabola is: y = 1/10 x^2

Answer 2

The new equation of the parabola will be  $y=\frac{x^{2} }{10}$.

The given parabola is:

$y=x^{2}$

What is a parabola?

A parabola is a plane curve that is mirror-symmetrical and is approximately U-shaped.

When the parabola y=x² is scaled vertically by a factor of 1/10.

The new equation of parabola will be = $y=\frac{x^{2} }{10}$.

This means the graph of a new parabola will look similar to the previous parabola(symmetric about the origin) but outputs(function values) will be different.

Hence, the new equation of the parabola will be  $y=\frac{x^{2} }{10}$.
