The graph of y=f(x)y = f(x) has xx-intercept at x=6x = 6. What is the xx-intercept of y=f(x2)y = f\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)?

  • A

    x=8x = 8

  • B

    x=3x = 3

  • C

    x=6x = 6

  • D

    x=12x = 12

    check_circle

Explanation

Horizontal stretch by factor 2: xx-intercept doubles. 62=126 \cdot 2 = 12.
