If we're stretching or shrinking the vertical, it means we're changing the y value. In other words, we're changing the output. So if we're stretching it by a factor of 3, that means every time we put in an x and get a y, that y is going to be three times bigger than it would otherwise be.
So what that means is, instead of f(x), we're going to get 3[f(x)]. So if you need to write the function, multiply your f(x) by 3...

...not quite. If you're changing x to 3x, you're changing the horizontal (see my answer to one of your other questions). Here, you want to multiply *all* of f(x) by 3. f(x)=2/3*x^2 + 2. So...3(2/3*x^2 + 2) = ?03/23/20
