The function h(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and is shifted 3 units to the left and shifted 2 units up.
Explanation:
The parent function is [tex]f(x)=x^{2}[/tex]
The translated function is [tex]h(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x+3)^{2}+2[/tex]
By using the function transformation rules, the translated function h(x) is stretched vertically by a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Also, from the function transformation rules, we know that, [tex]$f(x+b)$[/tex] shifts the function b units to the left.
Thus, the translated function h(x) is shifted 3 units to the left.
By using the function transformation rules, we know that, [tex]$f(x)+b$[/tex] shifts the function b units upward.
Thus, the translated function h(x) is shifted 2 units upwards.
Thus, the translated function h(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and is shifted 3 units to the left and shifted 2 units up.
