Question

The parabola � = � 2 y=x 2 y, equals, x, squared is scaled vertically by a factor of 7 77. What is the equation of the new parabola?

Answer 1

The equation of the original parabola is y = x^2.

When the parabola is scaled vertically by a factor of 7/77 (which simplifies to 1/11), the new equation of the parabola becomes:

y = (1/11)x^2
