Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Any integer n > 1 multiplied by 2 will be even, that is

2n ← is even

Given

n² - (n - 2)² - 2 ← expand parenthesis

= n² - (n² - 4n + 4) - 2

= n² - n² + 4n - 4 - 2 ← collect like terms

= 4n - 6 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(2n - 3)

Hence 2(2n - 3) ← will always be even for n > 1

Write a function g whose graph represents a reflection in the y-axis of the graph of f(x)=|2x−1|+3.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

1) y = -f(x) (This is the reflection about the x-axis of the graph y = f(x).) That is for every point (x, y) there is a point (x, -y). Look at the example graphs below of y = x2 and y = -x2. Notice the green graph is simply the same as the blue graph folded down
