Math Problem Statement
Complete the table below given that g(x) = f(-x). The table provides values for x and f(x), and the user is asked to fill in the corresponding values for g(x).
Solution
The problem asks to complete the table given that .
We already have the values of and , and we are asked to fill in the table for . The key here is that , which means that the value of at some is the same as at the corresponding negative .
Steps to Solve:
- For each value of in the bottom table, find the corresponding value of and use the known value of from the top table to fill in .
Let's go through each step:
For :
- We need .
- From the table, .
- So, .

- How can you graphically represent the transformation ?
- If is a linear function, how does affect its slope and intercepts?
- How would you approach the problem if given a quadratic function instead of ?
Tip: When dealing with function transformations like , you are performing a reflection of the graph across the y-axis.
