The graph of f(x) = 1/x^2 is vertically compressed by a factor of 1/2 units , then shifted to the left 5 units and down 4 units.

G(x)=

Transformation involves moving a function from one position to another. The resulting function g(x) is:

Given that:

See attachment for vertical compression

When the function is shifted 5 units left, the rule is:

So, we have:

When the function is shifted 4 units down, the rule is:

So, we have:

Hence, the resulting function is:

  G(x) = (1/2)(1/(x +5)^2 -4

Step-by-step explanation:

G(x) = bf(x -h) +k

represents the function f(x) shifted right h units, up k units and scaled vertically by a factor of b. Your problem statement tells you ...

  f(x) = 1/x^2, b = 1/2, h = -5, k = -4

so your G(x) is ...

  G(x) = (1/2)(1/(x +5)^2 -4

hey seth! : )

i’m not 100% sure, but i think it’s b

hope this ya : p

miss u!
