What is the effect of a vertical stretch on a graph?

Back

A vertical stretch occurs when the output values of a function are multiplied by a factor greater than 1, making the graph taller.

What is a horizontal compression?

Back

A horizontal compression occurs when the input values of a function are multiplied by a factor greater than 1, making the graph narrower.
