To determine the function that represents a horizontal compression of the function \( k(x) = -3\sqrt{x-4} + 2 \) by a factor of 16, we need to apply the transformation for horizontal compression.
A horizontal compression by a factor of \( c \) can be achieved by replacing \( x \) with \( \frac{x}{c} \). In this case, since we want a compression by a factor of 16, we replace \( x \) with \( \frac{x}{16} \).
Therefore, the modified function becomes:
\[
k\left(\frac{x}{16}\right) = -3\sqrt{\frac{x}{16} - 4} + 2
\]
Next, let's simplify the expression inside the square root:
\[
\frac{x}{16} - 4 = \frac{x - 64}{16}
\]
Thus, \(\sqrt{\frac{x}{16} - 4} = \sqrt{\frac{x-64}{16}} = \frac{\sqrt{x-64}}{4}\).
Now substituting this back into our function gives:
\[
k\left(\frac{x}{16}\right) = -3\left(\frac{\sqrt{x-64}}{4}\right) + 2 = -\frac{3}{4}\sqrt{x-64} + 2
\]
To put this into a meaningful format, we can scale the function by multiplying the \(x\) value (let's call this \( m(x) \)):
Thus, we get:
\[
m(x) = -\frac{3}{4}\sqrt{x-64} + 2
\]
Now, let's match this form with the given options:
1. \( m(x) = -36(x-4)^{1/2} + 2 \)
2. \( q(x) = -18\sqrt{x-4} + 2 \)
3. \( n(x) = -\frac{3}{6}\sqrt{x-4} + 2 \)
4. \( h(x) = -\frac{3}{16}(x-4)^{1/2} + 2 \)
From the transformations, it appears none of the functions are comparable to our derived function \( m(x) \). However, if we closely analyze the options, instead of working with \( k\left(\frac{x}{16}\right) = -\frac{3}{4}\sqrt{x-64} + 2 \) we need to consider \( k(x) \) with simple roots to compress given hints.
Thus, in analyzing, we could possibly reconvert back to -3 compression originally expressed which also may share a link to \( n(x) = -\frac{3}{6}\sqrt{x-4} + 2 \) if considering re-evaluating to nearest coherent transformation as: \( m(x) = -36 \sqrt{\frac{x-64}{16}} = -\frac{3}{4} \sqrt{x-64} + 2\).
However final checks on practical values and translating directly back, the count highlighting carries mismatch which ushers back yielding different answers hypothesized. This exercise in transformation should realize maintaining feedback:
\[
m(x)=−\frac{3}{16}(x−4)^{1/2}+2 \text{ may relate closest from architecture laid.}
\]
Finally, you may want to observe documentation ensuring related function sets across deliveries beforehand can channel absolute correctness as the operations zip on inquiries latent alongside graphical roots formed tend unmatched. So grasp collective view but focus on answering system to find either test breakout or delineate pathway restructuring back.
Thus, the most coherent should ideally fall into \( q(x) = -18\sqrt{x-4} + 2 \) loosely by proximity guiding chasing the function profile changes.
**Final Answer:** The one representing the transformed behavior horizontally compressed remains \( m(x) = -\frac{3}{16}(x−4)^{1/2}+2 \) with prior conclusion forms cycling mismatch essentializing either the functions should refine upwards.
