Using translation concepts, it is found that the equation for function g(x) is given by:
g(x) = 4x².
What is a translation?
A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.
In this problem, the parent function is given by:
f(x) = x².
This function passes through point (1,1). Function g(x) passes through point (1,4), that is, it is horizontally compressed by a factor of 4, hence g(x) is given by:
g(x) = 4x².
