Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
vertical stretching / shrinking has the following transformation.
f(x) -> a * f(x)
when a > 1, it is stretching
when 0< a < 1, it is shrinking.
when -1 < a < 0, it is shringking + reflection about the x-axis
when a < -1, it is stretching + reflection about the x axis.
Here it is simple shrinking, so 0 < a < 1.
I expect the answer choice to show (1/3) f(x).
However, if the question plays with the words
"shrink by a factor of 1/3" to actually mean a "stretching by a factor of three", then B is the answer (stretch by a factor of three).
