To analyze the relationship between the functions \( f(x) = -\frac{1}{2} \sin(5x) \) and \( g(x) = 4 \sin(5x) \), we can break down the transformations applied to \( g(x) \) to get to \( f(x) \).

1. **Vertical Stretch/Compression**: The function \( g(x) = 4 \sin(5x) \) has an amplitude of 4. The function \( f(x) = -\frac{1}{2} \sin(5x) \) has an amplitude of \(\frac{1}{2}\). Since \(\frac{1}{2}\) is \( \frac{1}{8} \times 4 \), this means \( f(x) \) is vertically compressed by a factor of 8.

2. **Reflection**: The negative sign in front of \(\frac{1}{2} \sin(5x)\) indicates that \( f(x) \) is reflected across the x-axis.

Putting these transformations together, we can conclude that:

- \( f(x) \) is the result of compressing \( g(x) \) vertically by a factor of 8 and reflecting it about the x-axis.

The correct response is:
- **f(x) is g(x) compressed vertically by a factor of 8 and reflected about the x-axis.**
