Question

Given the function h of x equals negative 2 times the square root of x, which statement is true about h(x)?

Answer 1

Using translation concepts, it is found that the correct statement about h(x) is:

The function is decreasing on the interval (0, ∞).

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:

$f(x) = \sqrt{x}$

Which is increasing on (0, ∞).

After the translation, the function is:

$h(x) = -2\sqrt{x}$

It was multiplied by a negative number, which means that it was reflected over the x-axis, and it will be decreasing on the interval (0, ∞).
