Math Problem Statement
For which of the following functions does g represent a translation of 7 units to the right and a reflection over the x-axis of the graph of f(x)=x−−√ ?
Solution
To determine which function represents a translation of 7 units to the right and a reflection over the -axis of the graph of , let's break it down step by step:
-
Translation by 7 units to the right:
A horizontal translation by 7 units to the right is represented by replacing with in the function.
So, starting with , the function becomes: -
Reflection over the -axis:
Reflecting a function over the -axis means multiplying the entire function by .
So, reflecting over the -axis gives:
Therefore, the function that represents a translation of 7 units to the right and a reflection over the -axis is:

Here are 5 related questions for practice:
- How would you modify for a translation 5 units to the left and a vertical stretch by a factor of 3?
- What is the effect of reflecting the graph of over the y-axis?
- How does translating by 2 units up and 3 units to the right change the function?
- What is the result of translating the function by 7 units to the left?
- What is the new equation after reflecting over the x-axis?
Tip: Translations along the x-axis are always done inside the function (replacing with ), while translations along the y-axis are done outside the function (adding or subtracting constants directly).
