Question

Describe each transformation that must be applied to f(x)=x² to get the function g(x)=1/2(x+2)² (30 POINTS)

Answer 1

Answer:

translate 2 units to the left and compress by 1/2 in the y direction

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x²

y = f(x + C)  C > 0 moves it left

We add 2 to move it 2 units to the left

h(x) = (x+2)^2

y = Cf(x) 0 < C < 1 compresses it in the y direction

g(x) = 1/2 (x+2)^2
