if you horizontally strech the quadratic parent function, f(x)=x^2, by a factor of 4, what is the equation of the new function?

     g(x) = x^2/16

Step-by-step explanation:

To stretch a function horizontally by a factor of k, replace x with x/k.

You want a stretch factor of 4, so your function is ...

  g(x) = f(x/4) = (x/4)^2

  g(x) = x^2/16

The attached graph shows the horizontal stretch.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
