-$f ( x ) = \arcsin \left( \frac { x } { 5 } \right)$
A) Vertical translation up 5 units
B) Horizontal shrink by a factor of $\frac { 1 } { 5 }$
C) Vertical stretch by a factor of 5
D) Horizontal stretch by a factor of 5

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The function $f(x) = \arcsin\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)$ involves a horizontal stretch by a factor of 5 because the input $x$ is divided by 5, which stretches the graph horizontally.
