Answer:
FOR PLATO USERS
The answer is D. g(x) = f(1/2x)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph with f(x) = x^2 starts at point zero, just like the picture shown below, so we can only predict that the new function was stretched horizontally. The parent function, f(x) = x^2, has the following points
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&&y\\1&&1\\2&&4\end{array}\right][/tex]
terrible table i know (pretend its a table chart) but these are the points of a normal f(x) graph. The points of the NEW graph is:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&&y\\2&&1\\4&&4\end{array}\right][/tex]
It appears that the x values in the parent function table are half of the x values in the new graph table. So, the new function would be
[tex]g(x)=f(\frac{1}{2} x)[/tex]
