Use the function f(x)=1/-x^2+x to create its reflection g(x) in the coordinate plane over the y axis.

G(x)=1/____x^2 ____x

1 answer

To find the reflection \( g(x) \) of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{-x^2 + x} \) over the y-axis, we need to replace \( x \) with \( -x \) in the original function.

Starting from the function:

\[ f(x) = \frac{1}{-x^2 + x} \]

We replace \( x \) with \( -x \):

\[ g(x) = f(-x) = \frac{1}{-(-x)^2 + (-x)} \]

Now, simplify the expression:

\[ g(x) = \frac{1}{-x^2 - x} \]

So, we can fill in the blanks to get:

\[ g(x) = \frac{1}{-x^2 - x} \]

Thus, the completed function is:

\[ g(x) = \frac{1}{-x^2 - x} \]
