Question 4 • Mathematics I

Which function represents g of x , a reflection of f of x is equal to 1 half times 3 to the x th power across the y -axis?

Answer
A
g of x is equal to negative 1 half times 3 to the x th power
B
g of x is equal to 2 times 3 to the x th power
C
g of x is equal to 1 half times 3 raised to the negative x power
D
g of x is equal to 2 times 3 raised to the negative x power

Explanation

Reflecting a function across the y-axis means replacing x with −x. Since f(x) = 1/2 · 3^x, the reflected function is g(x) = f(−x) = 1/2 · 3^(−x). Therefore, the answer is choice C, one half times 3 raised to the negative x power.
