If you apply these changes to the linear parent function, f(x)=x, what is the equation of the new function? Vertically compress by a factor of 4. Reflect over the x-axis . A. G(x) = 4 - x B. G(x) = - 1/4 * x C. G(x) = 1/4 * x D. G(x) = - 4x

Given:

The linear parent function, f(x)=x is vertically compressed by a factor of 4 and reflected over the x-axis.

To find:

The new function.

Solution:

The vertical stretch and compression is defined as

If k>1, then f(x) vertically stretched by factor k and if 0<k<1, then f(x) vertically compresses by factor .

In the given problem, linear parent function, f(x)=x is vertically compressed by a factor of 4. So,

Then, it is reflected over the x-axis.

So, the new function is .

Therefore, the correct option is B.
