You reflect a function with respect to the axis by changing its sign.
In fact, if you consider the two alternatives
and
you can see that you're choosing opposite outputs for the same inputs.
In other words, one graph will be made of points like , the other of points like
And the transformation
is exactly a reflection with respect to the axis.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Distance traveled by seal to catch the fish = 15 below sea level
Sea lion wanted to catch a larger fish so sea lion dove 6 feet lesser than two time the distance that the seal traveled.
To find:
The expression to represent the position of the sea lion in the sea.
Solution:
If the distance traveled by seal is represented by then as per the question statement:
Twice of =
6 lesser than twice of =
- 6
Now, putting the value of = 15
Therefore, the expression to represent the sea lion's position w.r.to sea level.
