Answer :

Answer: g(x) = 1/2x^2+8 

The original +4 is along the y-axis (y-intercept) so you add the 4 onto it since the y-axis is vertically calculated, unlike x that is a horizontal line. 

Answer:

[tex]g(x)=2x^2+16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2+4[/tex].

The function f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 4.

Vertical stretch by factor 'k' changes the function f(x) to [tex]kf(x)[/tex].

So, we get,

[tex]g(x)=4f(x)\\\\g(x)=4(\frac{1}{2}x^2+4)\\\\g(x)=2x^2+16[/tex]

Thus, the equation of g(x) is [tex]g(x)=2x^2+16[/tex].
