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)?

Respuesta :

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.

the equation for g(x) after reflected over x axis and translated 4 units left

[tex]g(x)=-(x+4)^2[/tex]

Given :

Parent function is [tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]

When a graph is reflected over x-axis then f(x)=-f(x)

When a graph is translated 'a' units left then we add 'a' with

f(x) becomes f(x+a)

Parent function f(x) is reflected over x-axis , multiply -1 with f(x)

so , [tex]f(x)=-x^2[/tex]

Now we translate 4 units to the left, add 4 with x

[tex]g(x)=-x^2\\g(x)=-(x+4)^2[/tex]

The final equation of g(x) is

[tex]g(x)=-(x+4)^2[/tex]
