Question

Describe the transformation of f(x)=x² represented by g(x)=1/5x²-4.

The graph of g is a
followed by a translation 4 units

Answer 1

f(x) undergoes a vertical scale factor of (1/5) and then a vertical shift down 4 units

g(x) = (1/5)*f(x) -4

Explanation:

there is a vertical scale by factor of (1/5) and a vertical shift down 4 units

f(x) =x^2

g(x) = (1/5)* f(x) - 4
