To apply a vertical compression by a factor of \( \frac{1}{3} \) to the function \( y = 4(x + 2)^2 \), you need to multiply the entire function by \( \frac{1}{3} \).

Starting with:

\[ y = 4(x + 2)^2 \]

To compress it vertically by a factor of \( \frac{1}{3} \), you would do:

\[ y = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 4(x + 2)^2 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ y = \frac{4}{3}(x + 2)^2 \]

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

\[ y = \frac{4}{3}(x + 2)^2 \]
