Question

g(x) is the transformation the parent function f(x)=x2 after being reflected over the x-axis and translated 4 units left. What is the equation for g(x)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Reflection across the x-axis: y = − f ( x ) y = -f(x) y=−f(x) The concept behind the reflections about the x-axis is basically the same as the reflections about the y-axis. The only difference is that, rather than the y-axis, the points are reflected from above the x-axis to below the x-axis, and vice versa.
