Question

The graph of f(x) = StartRoot x EndRoot is reflected over the y-axis. Use the graphing calculator to graph this reflection. Which list contains three points that lie on the graph of the reflection? (–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1) (1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6) (–49, 7), (–18, 9), (–1, 1) (1, –1), (4, –16), (5, –25)

Answer 2

(–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1) are the correct three points.

Explanation:

Given the function:

`f(x) =\sqrt x`

Please refer to the attached image.

The green line shows the graph of actual function.

It is reflected over y axis.

The reflected graph is shown in black color in attached image.

When reflected over y axis, the sign of variable
`x` changes from Positive to Negative.

So, the resultant function becomes:

`f(x)=√(-x)`

i.e. we will have to give the values of x as negative now.

so, the options in which value of x is negative are the possible answers only.

The possible answers are:

(–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1) and

(–49, 7), (–18, 9), (–1, 1)

Now, we will check the square root function condition.

In the 2nd option, (–18, 9) does not satisfy the condition.

So, the correct answer is:

(–81, 9), (–36, 6), (–1, 1)
