The parent function of a graph is f(x)=3(2)x Samantha reflected the parent function over the x-axis to get the following function: g(x)=3(2)−x
a. Describe Samantha's error (2 points)

b. Write the correct equation for g(x) after f(x) has been reflected over the x-axis. (2 points)

Part (a)

She replaced x with -x to go from f(x) = 3(2)^x to g(x) = 3(2)^(-x). This will not reflect the graph of f(x) over the x axis. Instead, it will reflect over the y axis. This is because each input is negated from positive to negative, or vice versa. For instance the old input x = 2 becomes the new input -2. Applying this idea to every x input will mirror the curve over the vertical y axis.

Part (b)

The correct equation should be g(x) = -3(2)^x

The negative out front is the same as -1.

We can think of it as g(x) = -1*f(x). The f(x) is the output value, or y value. If we multiply each y output by -1, this will flip every point over the horizontal x axis. A point like (0,3) moves to (0,-3) after doing this operation.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be
