Give the Equation of the Function G Whose Graph Is $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 }$

question 184

Multiple Choice

Give the equation of the function g whose graph is described.
-The graph of $\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 }$ is vertically stretched by a factor of 8 , and the resulting graph is reflected across the $x$ -axis.

• A) \(g ( x ) = - 8 x ^ { 2 }\)
• B) \(g ( x ) = ( x - 8 ) ^ { 2 }\)
• C) \(g ( x ) = 8 ( x - 8 ) x ^ { 2 }\)
• D) \(g ( x ) = 8 x ^ { 2 }\)
