Answer: Choice C

h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

===========================================

Explanation:

When reflecting the function f(x) over the y axis, we replace every x with -x and simplify like so

f(x) = -x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + 5

f(-x) = -(-x)^4 - 2(-x)^3 + 3(-x)^2 - 4(-x) + 5

f(-x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

h(x) = -x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 5

Note the sign changes that occur for the terms that have odd exponents (the terms -2x^3 and -4x become +2x^3 and +4x); while the even exponent terms keep the same sign.

The reason why we replace every x with -x is because of the examples mentioned below

-----------

Examples:

The point (1,2) moves to (-1,2) after a y axis reflection

Similarly, (-5,7) moves to (5,7) after a y axis reflection.

As you can see, the y coordinate stays the same but the x coordinate flips in sign from negative to positive or vice versa. This is the direct reason for the replacement of every x with -x.

A line passes through point A (14,21). A second point on the line has an x-value that is 125% of the x-value of point A and a y-

seropon [69]

Answer:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is $y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, let $A(x,y) = (14,21)$ and $B(x,y) = (1.25\cdot x_{A},0.75\cdot y_{A})$ . The equation of the line in point-slope form is defined by the following formula:
