Question

is dilated to become LaTeX: g\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{3}\cdot4^x. What is the specific effect on LaTeX: f\left(x\right)

Answer 1

f(x) is shrinked

Explanation:

Given

`f(x) = 4^x`

`g\left(x\right)=(1)/(3)\cdot4^x`

Required

The effect of dilation on f(x)

From the given parameters, we have:

`f(x) = 4^x`

`g\left(x\right)=(1)/(3)\cdot4^x`

On a general term;

`g(x) = k * f(x)`

So by comparison:

`k = (1)/(3)`

When scale of dilation is less than 1, it means the function is reduced. Hence, the specific effect on f(x) is shrink
