What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = x2 when f(x) is changed to f(5x)?

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parent function is f(x) = x² and the transformed function is g(x) = a(x)²

For a > 1, then the transformed function g(x) will be vertically stretched by a factor of 'a'

For 0 < a < 1, then the transformed function will be vertically compressed or shrink by a factor of 'a'

For a function f(x) = x² when transformed to f(5x) = (5x)²

g(x) = 25x²

Therefore, graph of the parent function f(x) will be vertically stretched by 25 units.
