Problem : If f (x) = (x + 2)² - 1 , what is the equation of the function if the graph is stretched:
a) vertically by a factor of 3
b) vertically by a factor of
c) horizontally by a factor of 2
d) horizontally by a factor of

Solution for Problem 1 >>

a) g(x) = 3(x + 2)² - 4
b) g(x) = (x + 2)² -
c) g(x) = ( x + 2)² = (x + 4)² - 1
d) g(x) = (4x + 2)² -1 = 16(x + )² - 1
