Describe how to transform the graph of f into the graph of g.

f(x) = x2 and g(x) = –(–x)2

The graph shifts left one unit.

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

f  ( x^2) will be positive for all values of x  because x^2 is always positive

what do you think about g(x) ?

cwrw238 · Answer

try inserting some negative and positive values of x into g(x)  what do you get?
