To complete the table and show that \( y = kf(x) \) results in the parent function being vertically compressed when \( k = \frac{1}{12} \), let's first analyze the given functions:
- The parent function \( y = f(x) = x^4 \)
- The function with the vertical compression \( y = 12f(x) = 12x^4 \)
Parent Function Table ( \( y = x^4 \) )
| x | y = x^4 | |-----|-----------| | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 16 |
Compressed Function Table ( \( y = 12x^4 \) )
To find the values for \( y = 12x^4 \), we will multiply the corresponding \( y \) values by 12.
-
For \( x = 0 \): \[ y = 12(0^4) = 12 \times 0 = 0 \]
-
For \( x = 1 \): \[ y = 12(1^4) = 12 \times 1 = 12 \]
-
For \( x = 2 \): \[ y = 12(2^4) = 12 \times 16 = 192 \]
Completed Compressed Function Table ( \( y = 12x^4 \) )
| x | y = 12x^4 | |-----|------------| | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 12 | | 2 | 192 |
Now we can summarize the vertical compression when \( k = \frac{1}{12} \).
The original parent function \( y = x^4 \) values have been scaled by 12 in the vertically compressed function \( y = 12x^4 \):
- At \( x = 0 \), the output is the same (0).
- At \( x = 1 \), the output increased from 1 to 12.
- At \( x = 2 \), the output increased from 16 to 192.
This shows that when \( k = 12 \), the outputs grow much more quickly than the original function \( y = x^4 \), confirming a vertical stretching rather than compression in this case. To verify compression, we'd look at \( k = \frac{1}{12} \).
For \( k = \frac{1}{12} \):
For Compressed Function Table ( \( y = \frac{1}{12}x^4 \) )
-
For \( x = 0 \): \[ y = \frac{1}{12}(0^4) = 0 \]
-
For \( x = 1 \): \[ y = \frac{1}{12}(1^4) = \frac{1}{12} \approx 0.083 \]
-
For \( x = 2 \): \[ y = \frac{1}{12}(2^4) = \frac{16}{12} = \frac{4}{3} \approx 1.333 \]
Completed Compressed Function Table ( \( y = \frac{1}{12}x^4 \) )
| x | y = \(\frac{1}{12}x^4\) | |-----|---------------------| | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 0.083 | | 2 | 1.333 |
This illustrates that the vertical compression caused by \( k = \frac{1}{12} \) reduces the values compared to the parent function.
