Question
Explain why the graph of $g(x)=|2 x|$ can be interpreted as a horizontal shrink of the graph of $f(x)=|x|$ or as a vertical stretch of the graph of $f(x)=|x|$.
Step 1
A horizontal shrink means that the graph is compressed towards the y-axis, while a vertical stretch means that the graph is stretched away from the x-axis. Show more…
