Question

question 2 of 10
which rule should be applied to reflect ( f(x) = x^3 ) over the ( x ) axis?

a. substitute -x for x and simplify ( f(-x) )

b. multiply ( f(y) ) by -1

c. switch the variables x and y in the equation

d. multiply ( f(x) ) by -1

Explanation:

Reflecting a function over the x-axis changes the sign of its y-values. For \( f(x) = x^3 \), this means replacing \( f(x) \) with \( -f(x) \), which is equivalent to multiplying \( f(x) \) by -1.

Answer:

D. Multiply f(x) by -1
