Imaging actually having a question smh

Given the parent function of [tex]f(x)=x^4[/tex], what change will occur when the function is changed to [tex]f(\frac{1}{2} x)[/tex]?

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x): x f(x) −1 −5 0 −1 1 3 g(x) g(x) = 2x − 7 part a: write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x). (6 points) part b: which function has a greater y-intercept? justify your answer. (4 points)

What are “like terms”? why can we only add like terms?
