Answered by GPT-4o mini
To vertically compress the function \( y = 9(5)^x \) by a factor of \( \frac{1}{3} \), you multiply the entire function by \( \frac{1}{3} \).

The original function is:

\[
y = 9(5)^x
\]

To apply the vertical compression, we rewrite the function as:

\[
y = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 9(5)^x
\]

Now, simplifying this gives:

\[
y = 3(5)^x
\]

So, the new function after vertically compressing by a factor of \( \frac{1}{3} \) is:

\[
y = 3(5)^x
\]
