please help <3

^^

OpenStudy (eyust707):

=P

OpenStudy (eyust707):

plug a 2 into f(x) you get 4

OpenStudy (eyust707):

plug a 2 into g(x) you get 4

OpenStudy (eyust707):

we could try a bunch more points but they would all be the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Reflect the graph of f across the y-axis and then reflect across the x-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so it would be that the graphs are the same?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the graphs are the same :D

OpenStudy (precal):

that is just a reflection across the y axis

OpenStudy (eyust707):

\[(-x)^2 = (-x)(-x) = x^2\]

OpenStudy (precal):

not a reflection across the x axis

well now both of u are confusing

OpenStudy (eyust707):

haha its both!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Reflect the graph of f across the y-axis and then reflect across the x-axis. The two graphs are the same. Reflect the graph of f across the y-axis. Reflect the graph of f across the x-axis.
