combinations of different functions work

WRITTEN RESPONSE

Determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answers.

  1. The graph of y = f(-x) is a reflection of the graph of y = f(x) in the x-axis.
  2. The graph of y = -f(x) is a reflection of the graph of y = f(x) in the y-axis.
