Question

Give an example of a function that is a dilation and a reflection of the parent function.

Answer 1

Answer: f(x) = -1/2(x+3)

Example: g(x) = -1/2(-x-3)

This function is a dilation and a reflection of the parent function f(x) because when graphed, the two functions have the same shape but are reflected over the y-axis and are half the size of the original.
