Answer: reflection over x axis</h3>
g(x) = -f(x) is the same as g(x) = -1*f(x)
Since y = f(x), we are really saying g(x) = -1*y. Whatever the y coordinate is on f(x), multiply it by -1. This turns something like y = 2 into y = -2, or something like y = -3 into y = 3, etc etc. Visually this reflects the point over the horizontal x axis. Do this to all points on f(x), and the entire curve reflects over the x axis.
I show an example of y = x^2 turn into y = -x^2 in the attached image below.
Your question seem to me non-understandable. Are they adding up together ?
or multiplying ?

Answer:
D: all real numbers
R: f(x) > 0
A: f(x) = 0
(-∞, 0), (+∞, +∞)
vertical stretch by a factor of 2; left shift 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The transformation ...
g(x) = a·f(b(x -c)) +d
does the following:
- vertical stretch by a factor of 'a'
- horizontal compression by a factor of 'b'
- translation right by 'c' units
- translation up by 'd' units
For many functions, horizontal coordinate changes are indistinguishable from vertical coordinate changes. Exponential functions tend to be one of those.

Using the above notation, you seem to have f(x) = 3^x, and g(x) = 2f(x+2). The transformation is a vertical stretch by a factor of 2, and a translation left 2 units.

As with all exponential functions, ...
- the domain is "all real numbers"
- the range is all numbers above the asymptote: f(x) > 0
- the horizontal asymptote is f(x) = 0
The function is a growth function, so ...
- x → -∞, f(x) → 0
- x → ∞, f(x) → ∞

<em>Additional comment</em>
The left shift is equivalent to an additional vertical stretch. The function could be rewritten as ...
f(x) = 18(3^x)
with no left shift and a vertical stretch by a factor of 18 instead of 2.
