Given f(x) = 1/4x^2 how did we transform from the parent function?

Question

A) Vertical compression (wider)

B) Vertical stretch (narrow)

C) Vertical compression (wider) and reflection over x-axis

D) Vertical stretch (narrower) and reflection over x-axis

Answer 1

The transformation from the parent function f(x) = x^2 to f(x) = 1/4x^2 includes a vertical compression (wider).

Option A) Vertical compression (wider) is the correct answer.
