What happens when the function f(x)=cos(x) is transformed by the rule g(x)=f(1/2x)?

A: f(x) is stretched away from the y-axis by a factor of 2.
B: f(x) is compressed toward the y-axis by a factor of 1/2.
C: f(x) is compressed toward the x-axis by a factor of 1/2.

Answer:

A:  f(x) is stretched away from the y-axis by a factor of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function:

[tex]f(x)=\cos(x)[/tex]

Given transformation:

[tex]g(x)=f\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)=\cos \left(\dfrac{1}{2}x\right)[/tex]

Translation:

[tex]y=f(ax) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{stretched parallel to the x-axis by a factor of} \: \dfrac{1}{a}[/tex]

Therefore, f(x) is stretched parallel to the x-axis (horizontally) by a factor of 2:

[tex]a=\dfrac{1}{2} \implies \dfrac{1}{a}=\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=2[/tex]
