Answer:
f(x) is shrinked
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = 4^x[/tex]
[tex]g\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{3}\cdot4^x[/tex]
Required
The effect of dilation on f(x)
From the given parameters, we have:
[tex]f(x) = 4^x[/tex]
[tex]g\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{3}\cdot4^x[/tex]
On a general term;
[tex]g(x) = k * f(x)[/tex]
So by comparison:
[tex]k = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
When scale of dilation is less than 1, it means the function is reduced. Hence, the specific effect on f(x) is shrink
