Question
Megan said that if $a>1$ and $g(x)=\frac{1}{a} \mathrm{f}(x),$ then the graph of $\mathrm{f}(x)$ is the graph of $\mathrm{g}(x)$ stretched vertically by the factor $a$ . Do you agree with Megan? Explain why or why not.
Step 1
Step 1: First, we have the function $g(x)=\frac{1}{a}f(x)$ where $a>1$. Show more…
