Question

Stretch the graph of f(x) horizontally by a

factor of 3.

Answer 1

Explanation:

If g(x) = 3f (x): For any given input, the output of g is three times the output of f, so the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of 3. If g(x) = f (3x): For any given output, the input of g is one-third the input of f, so the graph is shrunk horizontally by a factor of 3.
