QuestionFind the function g(x)g(x) that represents a vertical shrink of f(x)=x3f(x)=|x|-3 by a factor of 13\frac{1}{3}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The original function is f(x)=x3f(x)=|x|-3 . The transformation is a vertical shrink by a factor of 13\frac{1}{3}

STEP 2

A vertical shrink by a factor of 1\frac{1}{} means that each y-coordinate of the original function will be multiplied by 1\frac{1}{}.This transformation can be represented by the function g(x)=1f(x)g(x) = \frac{1}{}f(x).

STEP 3

Now, we substitute f(x)f(x) with x3|x|-3 in the function g(x)g(x).
g(x)=13f(x)=13(x3)g(x) = \frac{1}{3}f(x) = \frac{1}{3}(|x|-3)

STEP 4

Now, distribute the 13\frac{1}{3} inside the parentheses.
g(x)=13x13×3g(x) = \frac{1}{3}|x| - \frac{1}{3} \times3

STEP 5

implify the equation.
g(x)=13x1g(x) = \frac{1}{3}|x| -1So, the function gg whose graph represents the indicated transformation of the graph of ff is g(x)=13x1g(x) = \frac{1}{3}|x| -1.
