The answer is A

Jamie Vega · Answer 2

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is stretched and becomes "skinnier". Any multiplication to the function will either stretch or compress the graph. Values less than 1 compress while values greater than 1 stretch the graph. 2>1 so f (x) is stretched to create g (x).
