D)g(x) = 3^−x

Step-by-step explanation

given the function


f(x)=3^x

it has a transformatio functio g(x), by checking the graph we can conclude the transformation was a reflection across y-xis

so, we need to apply the rule for that kind of transformation

the rule to reflect a function across the y-axis is

(x,y)→(−x,y)


(x,y)\Rightarrow(-x,y)

therfore, we need to negate the x coordiante, hence


f(x)=3^x\Rightarrow reflection\text{ acrros y axis}\Rightarrow g(x)=3^(-x)

therefore, the answer is

D)g(x) = 3^−x

I hope this helps you
