Let's start by recalling possible transformations of the parent function f(x)=x1.
Function | Transformation of the Graph of f(x)=x1 |
---|---|
g(x)=b⋅x1 | Horizontal stretch or compression by a factor of b. If 0<b<1, it is a horizontal stretch. If 1<b, it is a horizontal shrink. |
Now, let's consider the given function. g(x)=0.1x1⇔g(x)=0.1x1 We can see that b=0.11=10. Therefore, the graph of g(x) is a horizontal stretch of the graph of f(x) by a factor of 10.
