Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Transformation

The given function transformation is \( g(x) = \frac{3}{2} f(x-3) \). This involves two transformations:

  1. Horizontal shift to the right by 3 units.
  2. Vertical stretch by a factor of \(\frac{3}{2}\).
Step 2: Apply Horizontal Shift

Shift the graph of \( f(x) \) to the right by 3 units. This means every point \((x, y)\) on the graph of \( f(x) \) will move to \((x+3, y)\).

Step 3: Apply Vertical Stretch

After shifting, apply the vertical stretch by multiplying the y-coordinates by \(\frac{3}{2}\). This means every point \((x+3, y)\) will become \((x+3, \frac{3}{2}y)\).

Final Answer

The graph of \( g(x) = \frac{3}{2} f(x-3) \) is obtained by first shifting the graph of \( f(x) \) 3 units to the right and then stretching it vertically by a factor of \(\frac{3}{2}\).
