The graph with equation \(y = f(x)\) is transformed to the graph with equation \(y = g(x)\) by a stretch in the \(x\)-direction with factor 0.5, followed by a translation of \(\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\).
(a) The diagram below shows the graph of \(y = f(x)\). On the diagram sketch the graph of \(y = g(x)\).
(b) Find an expression for \(g(x)\) in terms of \(f(x)\).
Solution
To find \(g(x)\) in terms of \(f(x)\), we need to apply the given transformations to \(f(x)\).
1. The first transformation is a stretch in the \(x\)-direction by a factor of 0.5. This means we replace \(x\) with \(2x\) in the function \(f(x)\). So, the function becomes \(f(2x)\).
2. The second transformation is a translation by \(\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}\), which means we add 1 to the entire function. Thus, the function becomes \(f(2x) + 1\).
Therefore, the expression for \(g(x)\) in terms of \(f(x)\) is \(g(x) = f(2x) + 1\).
