Math Problem Statement

Find g(x), where g(x) is the reflection across the x-axis of f(x)=7x–5. Write your answer in the form mx+b, where m and b are integers. g(x)=

Solution

To find the function g(x)g(x), which is the reflection of f(x)=7x5f(x) = 7x - 5 across the x-axis, we follow these steps:

  1. Reflection Across the X-axis: Reflecting a function across the x-axis involves multiplying the function by 1-1.

  2. Apply the Reflection: Multiply the entire function f(x)=7x5f(x) = 7x - 5 by 1-1.

g(x)=[7x5]g(x) = -[7x - 5]

  1. Simplify:

g(x)=7x+5g(x) = -7x + 5

Thus, the reflected function is g(x)=7x+5g(x) = -7x + 5.

Do you want more details or have any questions? Here are five related questions:

  1. What would g(x)g(x) be if f(x)=7x+5f(x) = -7x + 5?
  2. How does reflecting f(x)=7x5f(x) = 7x - 5 across the y-axis differ from the x-axis reflection?
  3. What is the effect on the graph of a linear function when it's reflected across the origin?
  4. Can you find the x-intercept of the reflected function g(x)=7x+5g(x) = -7x + 5?
  5. What happens if you reflect f(x)=7x5f(x) = 7x - 5 twice across the x-axis?

Tip: Reflecting a function across the x-axis inverts the sign of the output but keeps the input values the same.
