Math Problem Statement
write the equations from a description: the shape of f(x) = sqrt(x), but shifted 6 units to the left and then reflected in both the x-axis and the y-axis
Solution
To write the equation based on the description:
- Original function: .
- Shifted 6 units to the left: Replace with , giving .
- Reflected in the x-axis: Multiply the entire function by , resulting in .
- Reflected in the y-axis: Replace with , yielding .
The final equation is:
