K value is 4

Parent function is f(x) = x^2

On
 a graph, write down both y = f(x) and y = f (kx) for your
chosen parent function and chosen value of k. Be sure to clearly label each sketch.

Answer in two short sentences.

1 answer

The graph of \( y = f(x) = x^2 \) is a standard parabola opening upwards. The graph of \( y = f(kx) = f(4x) = (4x)^2 = 16x^2 \) is a steeper parabola also opening upwards, indicating that it is vertically stretched by a factor of 16.
