Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine which function matches based on the graph provided:
-
Identify the transformation: The graph of is a transformation of the graph of .
-
Analyze the transformations:
- Horizontal Shift: If , the graph of would be a horizontal shift of to the right by units.
- Vertical Stretch: If , the graph of would be a vertical stretch of by a factor of 2.
By analyzing the graph:
- Horizontal Shift: The graph of appears to be shifted to the right by 2 units compared to .
- Vertical Stretch: The graph of appears to be a vertical stretch of by a factor of 2.
-
Match the transformations:
- The correct transformation that matches both a shift to the right by 2 units and a vertical stretch by a factor of 2 is option D: .
Thus, the correct answer is D.
