The function f(x)=(x+1)2 is reflected over the x-axis to create g(x). Identify the equation for g(x).
To reflect a function over the x-axis, we multiply the function by -1. Thus, the equation for g(x) is:
g(x) = -(x+1)²
To reflect a function over the x-axis, you need to change the sign of the y-values.
So, to reflect f(x) = (x+1)^2 over the x-axis to create g(x), the equation for g(x) is:
g(x) = -(x+1)^2
