Consider the function f(x) = x3 + 0.5x – 1. Marjan needs to graph f(x) and g(x) = –f(x) – 3. His graphs are shown below.

Question illustration
A
No, the reflection should be over the x-axis, not the y-axis.
B
No, the reflection should be over the y-axis, not the x-axis.
C
Yes, g(x) is a reflection of f(x) over the y-axis followed by a translation of 3 units down.
D
Yes, g(x) is a reflection of f(x) over the x-axis followed by a translation of 3 units down.

The graph of is shown.Which is the graph of ?

Question illustration
A
On a coordinate plane, a cubic root function is shown. It approaches x = negative 3 in quadrant 3, has an inflection point at (negative 1, negative 2), and then approaches y = 2 in quadrant 1. It crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 2).
Option A
B
On a coordinate plane, a cubic root function is shown. It approaches x = negative 1 in quadrant 3, has an inflection point at (2, 1), and then increases and approaches y = 5.
Option B
C
On a coordinate plane, a cubic root function is shown. It approaches the y-axis in quadrant 4, increases, has a point of inflection at (2, 1), and then increases and approaches x = 4.
Option C
D
On a coordinate plane, a cubic root function is shown. It approaches the y-axis in quadrant 2, decreases, has a point of inflection at (negative 2, 1), and then decreases and approaches x = negative 4.
Option D
