Respuesta :

You see that (2,2) is on g(x). So plugging in (2,2) into each of the equations, you see that only C) g(x)=[tex]\frac{x^2}{2}[/tex] works.


Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]

From the given graph it is clear that the vertex of f(x) and g(x) are same, i.e.,(0,0). But the graph of g(x) compressed vertically.

[tex]g(x)=kf(x)[/tex]

If k>1, then graph of g(x) stretched vertically and if k<1, then graph of g(x) compressed vertically.

[tex]g(x)=kx^2[/tex]

The graph of g(x) passing through the point (2,2).

[tex]2=k(2)^2[/tex]

[tex]2=4k[/tex]

[tex]k=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The value of k is 1/2. The function g(x) is

[tex]g(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2[/tex]

Therefore, option C is correct.
