F(x) is defined by the equation f(x) = 4x^2 - 2x + 17. What effect will multiplying
f(x) by 0.5 have on the graph?

The graph will be compressed vertically.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f (x) = x²

The new function is f 1 (x) = 1/4 x².

The general function of the form is f(x) = a · x²

i) If |a| < 1   the graph is compressed vertically by a factor of a.

ii)  If |a| > 1  the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of a.

Here:  a = 1/4 < 1

the graph will be compressed vertically

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula
