Question

PLZ ANSWER If the graph of the equation y=(x+2)^2 is reflected with respect to the y-axis, what is the equation of the resulting graph?

Answer 1

reflected function = (2-x)^2

Explanation:

You have the following function:

`f(x)=(x+2)^2`

In order to find the function that is a reflection of f(x), you take into account that a reflection over the y-axis generates a function that is equal to f(-x).

Then, you have:

`f(-x)=(-x+2)^2=(2-x)^2`

The reflected function is then (2-x)^2
