The parabola y=x^2 is squared is scaled vertically by a factor of 7. What is the equation of the new parabola?

Answer 1

y=x^2 is squared is scaled vertically by a factor of 7. What is the equation of the new parabola?

So if it's scaled vertically by a factor 7, we want are y values to be 7 times the current value. So we multiply x^2 by 7, which will scale y values by a factor of 7. Thus, y=7x^2
