    8. Consider the graphs of m(x) and n(x).

    When the negative


    is on the inside of
    a. Which function represents a reflection of h(x) across a
    the function, like g(2x),
    horizontal line? Name the line of reflection.
    all the x-values
    m(x), reflection across y axis
    become the opposite
    of the x-values of
    g(x). The y-values
    b. Which function represents a reflection of h(x) across a remain unchanged.
    vertical line? Name the line of reflection.

    n(x), reflection across x axis

    9. Complete each sentence with the coordinate notation to


    represent the reflection of each function.

    a. m(x) 5 2h(x)

     Each point (x, y) on the graph of h(x) becomes the point (x, -y)
    on m(x).

    b. n(x) 5 h(2x)

     Each point (x, y) on the graph of h(x) becomes the point (-x, y)
    on n(x).

    Recall that for the basic function, the A-value of the transformed function
    y 5 A ? f(x) affects the output values of the function. For |A| . 1, the graph
    vertically stretches. For 0 , |A| , 1, the graph vertically compresses.
    For A 5 21, the graph is reflected across the line y 5 0, or the x-axis.

    In this activity, you considered a different transformation that affects


    the input values of a function. For the basic function, the B-value of the
    transformed function y 5 f(Bx) affects the input values of the function.
    For B 5 21, the graph is reflected across the line x 5 0, or the y-axis.

    There are different ways to interpret equations of exponential functions


    and transformations of exponential functions.

    1. Jacob and Kate are comparing the two graphs shown.


    y y

    f(x)

    x x

    g(x)

    Jacob says that to get the graph of g(x), first translate f(x) down
    3 units, and then reflect across the line y 5 0. Kate says that to
    get the graph of f(x), first reflect g(x) across the line y 5 0, and
    then translate up 3 units. Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

    They're both correct, their steps are the same, but performed in different order.

    You know that changing the A-value of a function to its opposite reflects the © Carnegie Learning, Inc.

    function across a horizontal line. But the line of reflection for the function
    might be different depending on how you write the transformation and the
    order the transformations are applied.
