QuestionFind the function g(x)g(x) that results from a vertical shrink of f(x)=2x+6f(x)=2x+6 by a factor of 12\frac{1}{2}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The original function is f(x)=x+6f(x) =x +6 . The transformation is a vertical shrink by a factor of 1\frac{1}{}

STEP 2

A vertical shrink by a factor of 12\frac{1}{2} means that the y-values of the original function are halved. This can be achieved by multiplying the original function by the factor 12\frac{1}{2}.
g(x)=12f(x)g(x) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot f(x)

STEP 3

Now, substitute the original function f(x)=2x+6f(x) =2x +6 into the transformation equation.
g(x)=12(2x+6)g(x) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (2x +6)

STEP 4

implify the equation by distributing the 12\frac{1}{2} to both terms inside the parentheses.
g(x)=122x+126g(x) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot2x + \frac{1}{2} \cdot6

STEP 5

implify further by performing the multiplication.
g(x)=x+3g(x) = x +3The transformed function is g(x)=x+3g(x) = x +3.
