The functions stretches vertically by a factor of 4 will be f(x) = 4(x+ 1)² - 1. Then the correct option is C.
What is the equation of the parabola?
Let the point (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola and a is the leading coefficient.
Then the equation of the parabola will be given as,
y = a(x - h)² + k
The quadratic function is given below.
f(x) = a(x+ 1)² - 1
If the value of the leading coefficient lies between 0 to 1. Then the parabola is stretched horizontally.
And if the value of the leading coefficient is greater than one. Then the parabola is stretched vertically.
The functions stretches vertically by a factor of 4. Then the value of the leading coefficient is 4. Then the equation will be
f(x) = 4(x+ 1)² - 1
Then the correct option is C.
