If you vertically compress the square root parent function f(x) = ^x, by 1/2 of a unit what is the equation of the new function

The equation of the new function is

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a function f(x).

a*f(x), a > 1, is vertically stretching f(x) a units. Otherwise, if a < 1, we are vertically compressing f(x) by a units.

f(x - a) is shifting f(x) a units to the right.

f(x + a) is shifting f(x) a units to the left

In this question:

Vertically compressing by 1/2:

This is the same as multiplying the function by 1/2. So

The equation of the new function is

(x+3)(x+7)

step-by-step explanation:

i think the amount would be $140.62
