What does the transformation f(x) --> -f(x) do to the graph of f(x)

D) Reflect over x-axis

=======================================================

Explanation:

When we do this type of reflection, a point like (1,2) moves to (1,-2).

As another example, something like (5,-7) moves to (5,7)

The x coordinate stays the same but the y coordinate flips in sign from positive to negative, or vice versa.

We can say that as a general way to represent the transformation. Note how y = f(x), so when we make f(x) negative, then we're really making y negative.

If we apply this transformation to every point on f(x), then it will flip the f(x) curve over the horizontal x axis.

There's an example below in the graph. The point A(2,8) moves to B(2,-8) after applying that reflection rule.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
