graph the function f by starting with the graph of and using transformations

Question

(shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflection).

[Hint: If necessary,write f in the form f(x) =a(x-h)^2 +k ]

f(x) =x^2/4

Answer 1

Step 1:

The function .

Consider the standard function .

The graph of the standard function :

Step 2 :

To obtain the graph of , shrink the graph of vertically by a factor c.

Shrink the graph vertically by 4 units.

Multiply by

 

The graph of the function :

 

Solution :

The graph of the function :
