Question

If you flip the graph of the quadratic parent function, f(x) = x2, over the x-axis, what is the equation of the new function?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $g(x)=-x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

In flipping across x-axis a function gives its mirror image through the x-axis,

That is, when a function f(x) is flipped over x-axis,

Then the new function would be -f(x).

Here, the given function,

$f(x)=x^2$

After flipping the function over x-axis,

$g(x)=-f(x)$

$\implies g(x)=-x^2$

Hence, option 'A' is correct.

Answer 2

I think the answer might be A.
