Answer:
It's D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 1/2 stretches the graph horizontally of x^2 by a factor 1/2.
Option-D will represent the required graph of the function [tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{2}f(x)[/tex].
"A function is defined as a relation between a set of inputs having one output each."
The given function:
[tex]f(x) = x^{2}[/tex]
Therefore the required function is:
[tex]g(x)\\= \frac{1}{2}f(x)\\= \frac{1}{2}x^{2}[/tex]
By putting the values of 'x' as -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 etc. we get:
[tex]g(-2) = (-2)^{2} = 4\\ g(-1) = (-1)^{2} = 1\\ g(0) = (0)^{2} = 0\\ g(1) = (1)^{2} = 1\\ g(2) = (2)^{2} = 4[/tex]
By plotting this value, we get option-D is the graph that represents the function g(x).
