Answer:

  • vertically expanded by a factor of 4
  • then, translated upward 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) = x² and g(x) = 4x² = 4f(x), the function g(x) represents a vertical expansion of f(x) by a factor of 4.

If h(x) = g(x) +12, the function h(x) represents a translation of g(x) by 12 units upward.

Together, these transformations on f(x) are ...

  • vertical expansion by a factor of 4
  • translation upward by 12 units

_____

Please be aware that there are alternate transformations that will do the same thing:

  h(x) = 4(f(x) +3) . . . . is a translation upward by 3, then a vertical expansion by a factor of 4

  h(x) = f(2x) +12 . . . . is horizontal compression of f(x) by a factor of 2, then a translation upward by 12.
