Answer 1

Given the parental exponential function

`f(x)=2^x`

Transformed to the function h(x) below

`h(x)=-3\cdot2^x`

The parental exponential function was reflected over the x axis and dilated by a factor of 3, i.e

`\begin{gathered} h(x)=3\cdot(-f(x)) \\ Where\text{ } \\ f(x)=2^x \\ h(x)=-3\cdot(2^x)=-3\cdot2^x \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is

Function h is a reflection and a dilation of function f (option
