Select the correct answer.

The parent tangent function is horizontally compressed by a factor of 1/2 and reflected over the x-axis. Which equation could represent function g

the result of this transformation?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]g(x) = -\frac{1}{2}\tan{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangent function:

The tangent function is:

[tex]f(x) = \tan{x}[/tex]

Horizontally compressed by a factor of 1/2

Horizontally compressing by a factor of 1/2 is multiplying by 1/2. So

[tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{2}\tan{x}[/tex]

Reflected over the x-axis.

Reflecting a function over the x-axis is the same as multiplying it by -1. Then g is given by:

[tex]g(x) = -\frac{1}{2}\tan{x}[/tex]
