Suppose f(x)=x^2-2 find the graph of f(1/2x)

graph g(x)=1/4 x^2 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are to replace x with (1/2x) in the expression x^2-2

So you have (1/2x)^2-2

1/4 x^2-2

Graph some points for g(x)=1/4 x^2-2

The vertex is (0,-2) and the parabola is open up.

I would graph 2 more points besides the vertex

x   |  g(x)                     ordered pairs to graph

                        (-1,-1.75) and (0,-2) and (1,-1.75)

-1        -1.75

0         -2

1         -1.75
