Answer:
D isn't the correct answer. It's "It shrinks the graph vertically to 1/2 its original height."
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure why though this is right because I graphed it, and I don't see how that could be the right answer.
Answer:
Option A - It shrinks the graph vertically to 1/2 its original height.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : In the function [tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x^2[/tex]
To find : What effect does the number [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] have on the graph, as compared to the graph of the function [tex]y=x^2[/tex] ?
Solution :
The parent function is [tex]y=x^2[/tex]
We have given that [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] number is multiply to the parent function.
When the unit is multiply to the function gives you vertical stretch or compression
i.e, f(x)→ bf(x), o<b<1 then the function is vertically compressed.
[tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x^2[/tex] As [tex]0<\frac{1}{2}<1[/tex] means there is vertical compression or shrinks.
Therefore, Option A is correct.
It shrinks the graph vertically to 1/2 its original height.
