Question

describe the dilation in g(x) = 5(x) as it relates to the graph of the parent function. g(x) is a select choice of the parent function by a factor of 5.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation rule

For a function $y = a\cdot f(x)$, if $|a|> 1$, it is a vertical stretch. Here $a = 5>1$.

Answer:

vertical stretch
