When you reflect a function in the <em>x</em>-axis, the first coordinate of a point stays the same, and the second coordinate changes sign (what was positive is now negative and vice versa). See the attached picture.
Question 11: f(x) = -5x + 2. The function changes to its opposite, so g(x) = -(-5x + 2) = 5x - 2.
When you reflect a function in the <em>y</em>-axis, the first coordinate of a point changes to its opposite, but the second coordinate stays the same. Replace <em>x</em> with -<em>x</em> .
Question 14: f(x) = |2x - 1| + 3. Replacing <em>x</em> with -<em>x</em> produces g(x) = |2(-x) - 1| + 3 which simplifies to g(x) = |-2x -1| + 3.
Question 15 works the same way as #14.
Answer:
20 is the greatest common denominator. You can find this by listing the factors of each number. The highest number that can fit into both individual numbers is the common denominator. Since 40 is just 20 doubled, and 20 is just 20 once, it fits into both numbers and is also the highest number that can fit.
EXPLANATION
If the height of the can is 4 inches and the diameter is 3--> radius=1.5 inches, the area is given by the following relationhip:

Replacing terms:

The approximate area is 37.7 in^2
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
MNOP to ABCD: The answer has to be greater than one because ABCD increases in size from MNOP.
To get the scale factor you have to compare the sides.
Line AD = 6 in.
Line MP = 4 in.
6/4 = 3/2
