1.What effect does changing the function f(x) = 1/2 sin (x) +2 to the function g(x) = 2 sin (x) +8 have on the graph of f(x)?
A. The graph is horizontally stretched by a factor of 4 and shifted up 6 units.
B. The graph is vertically stretched by a factor of 4 and shifted up 6 units
C. The graph is vertically stretched by a factor of 6 and shifted up 4 units.
D. The graph is horizontally stretched by a factor of 6 and shifted up 4 units.

Answer: OPTION A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some tranformations for a function f(x):

If [tex]f(x)+k[/tex], then the function is shifted up "k" units.

If [tex]f(x)-k[/tex], then the function is shifted down "k" units.

If [tex]bf(x)[/tex], and [tex]b>1[/tex], then the function is vertically stretched by a factor of "b".

If [tex]bf(x)[/tex], and [tex]0<b<1[/tex], then the function is vertically compressed by a factor of "b".

If [tex]f(bx)[/tex], and [tex]b>1[/tex], then the function is horizontally compressed by a factor  of [tex]\frac{1}{b}[/tex]

If [tex]f(bx)[/tex], and [tex]0<b<1[/tex], then the function is horizontally stretched by a factor  of [tex]\frac{1}{b}[/tex]

Since the function f(x) is:

[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{2}sin(x)+2[/tex]

And the function g(x) is:

[tex]g(x) = 2 sin (x) +8[/tex]

You can observe that the function g(x) is the function f(x) but shifted up 6 units and vertically stretched by a factor of 4.
