The graph represents the function f(x) = x^2 + 3x + 2.

If g(x) is the reflection of f(x) across the x-axis, g(x) =?

anonymous · Answer

its a no solution problem

princessaurora · Answer

how do I solve for g(x) if it's a reflection of f(x) across the x-axis?

princessaurora · Answer

It says g(x) equals something how do I find out what it is?

anonymous · Answer

you solve .. fx - x^2 - 3x - 2 =0 
step 2. fx- x^2-3x-2 = 0 
so the answer is no solution.

princessaurora · Answer

I don't know how I would write no solution then for g(x)?

I believe there is a solution. Since you're reflecting across the X axis, all signs should be changed in the original equation.

Extra: If it was reflecting across the Y-axis, only the 3x would change signs

I did what you said and I got the right answer! :)) Thank you!!!!

No problem! A negative parabola reflects across the X axis, and remember to change everything else to compliment it
