When you multiply a function by -1 what is the effect on its graph?

Step-by-step explanation:

Depends on what you mean by multiplying by - 1.  I assume you are not going to multiply the y or f(x) term by - 1.

If that is so, take an example. Suppose you have a graph that is y=x^2

That's a parabola that opens upwards and it has a line going through its focus which is a point on the +y axis.

When you multiply the right hand side by - 1, the graph you get will be y = - x^2.

That opens downward and the focus is on the - y axis.

That means that the effect of the graph is that it flips over the x axis, which I think is the third answer.

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13
