Consider the function f(x) = x2 and the function g(x) = 3x2. How will the graph of g(x) differ from the graph of f(x)? Select the correct answer

The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted to the left 3 units.

The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) stretched vertically by a factor of 3.

The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) compressed vertically by a factor of

The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted up 3 units. ​

Third Choice - The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) compressed vertically by a factor of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 is the the parent function, so it opens up with a normal compression.

Any number > (greater than) 1 as a coefficient of x will lead to a vertical compression (narrower parabola), while any number < (less than) 1 as a coefficient of x will lead to a vertical stretch (wider parabola).

So, 3x^2 would have to have to be a compressed parabola.

I hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
