Answer:
The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) stretched by 3 and shifted 8 units up
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]
[tex]g(x) =3x^2 + 8[/tex]
Required
Compare g(x) and f(x)
We have:
[tex]g(x) =3x^2 + 8[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]g(x) =3[x^2] + 8[/tex]
Substitute:[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]
[tex]g(x) =3f(x) + 8[/tex]
This means that:
3f(x)
f(x) is stretched vertically by a factor of 3
+8
Then shifted upwards by 8 units to give g(x)
