Question

What happens when the function f(x) = 2 sin(2) is transformed by the rule g (w) = - f(x)?

• f(x) is stretched away from the x-axis by a factor of 2 and is reflected over the x-axis.
O f(x) is reflected over the y-axis.
O f(x) is reflected over the x-axis.
• f(x) is compressed toward the y-axis by a factor of 1/2 and is reflected over the y-axis

Answer 1

• f(x) is stretched away from the x-axis by a factor of 2 and is reflected over the x-axis.

Explanation:

The function f(x) = 2sin(2x) has an amplitude of 2 and a period of π/2. When we apply the rule g(w) = - f(x), we are reflecting the graph of f(x) over the x-axis and then taking its opposite. This means that the amplitude of g(w) will still be 2, but the graph will be reflected and stretched away from the x-axis by a factor of 2.
