PLEASE HELP! For the function f(x) = x^2, what effect will multiplying f(x) by 1/2 have on the graph?

A. The graph will be compressed horizontally.
B. The graph will be shifted horizontally.
C. The graph will be stretched vertically.
D. The graph will be compressed vertically.

Answer 1

The answer is D. The graph will be compressed vertically.

1/2f(x) means half of the y values of the original function making the graph shorter
