Accepted Answer

$$f(x) = \sqrt{x},\ g(x) = x-2$$

Question 11

A function $$f(x) is $$reflected over the $$y-$$axis. Which equation represents this transformation?

Accepted Answer

$$f(-x)$$

Question 12

Given $$f(x) = x^3$ and h(x$$)$$ is f(x$$)$$ reflected over the x$-axis and shifted down 2 units, what is h(x$$)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$h(x) = -x^3$ - 2$$

Question 13

Which of the following is the domain of $$f(x) = \frac{2}{x-5}$$?
