Math Problem Statement

Is cube root(x) +2 reflected

Solution

The function f(x)=x3+2f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} + 2 is not reflected yet. However, it can be reflected if we apply transformations.

There are two types of reflections you might be asking about:

1. Reflection over the x-axis:

To reflect the graph over the x-axis, we multiply the entire function by 1-1. The reflected function becomes: [ f(x) = -\left(\sqrt[3]{x} + 2\right) = -\sqrt[3]{x} - 2 ]

2. Reflection over the y-axis:

To reflect the graph over the y-axis, we replace xx with x-x in the function. The reflected function becomes: f(x)=x3+2f(x) = \sqrt[3]{-x} + 2

Both these reflections would change the shape and orientation of the graph, depending on the type of reflection applied.

Would you like more details on how to visualize or graph these transformations?
