To determine which table shows that ( y = -f(x) ) results in a reflection over the x-axis, we need to look for a table where the values of ( -f(x) ) are the negative counterparts of the values of ( f(x) ).
Let's examine each response:
-
- For ( x = 2 ), ( f(2) = 0 ) and ( -f(2) = 0 ) (not a reflection)
- For ( x = 3 ), ( f(3) = -1 ) and ( -f(3) = 1 ) (this shows reflection)
- For ( x = 6 ), ( f(6) = -2 ) and ( -f(6) = 2 ) (this shows reflection)
-
- For ( x = 2 ), ( f(2) = 0 ) and ( -f(2) = 0 ) (not a reflection)
- For ( x = 3 ), ( f(3) = 1 ) and ( -f(3) = -1 ) (not a reflection)
- For ( x = 6 ), ( f(6) = 2 ) and ( -f(6) = -2 ) (not a reflection)
-
- For ( x = -2 ), ( f(-2) = -2 ) and ( -f(-2) = 2 ) (this shows reflection)
- For ( x = 0 ), ( f(0) = 0 ) and ( -f(0) = 0 ) (not a reflection)
- For ( x = -3 ), ( f(-3) = -1 ) and ( -f(-3) = 1 ) (this shows reflection)
- For ( x = -6 ), ( f(-6) = -2 ) and ( -f(-6) = 2 ) (this shows reflection)
-
- For ( x = -2 ), ( f(-2) = -2 ) and ( -f(-2) = 2 ) (this shows reflection)
- For ( x = 0 ), ( f(0) = 0 ) and ( -f(0) = 0 ) (not a reflection)
- For ( x = -3 ), ( f(-3) = 1 ) and ( -f(-3) = -1 ) (not a reflection)
- For ( x = -6 ), ( f(-6) = 2 ) and ( -f(-6) = -2 ) (not a reflection)
From this analysis, the first option shows the necessary reflection for ( f(3) ) and ( f(6) ), and the third option also demonstrates the reflection for points within ( f(-2) ) and ( f(-3) ).
However, because the pairs in the first response demonstrate the reflection consistently under positive values, the response that best shows that ( y = -f(x) ) corresponds to a reflection over the x-axis is:
First Response (y = -f(x)):
- For ( x = 2, -f(2) = 0 )
- For ( x = 3, -f(3) = 1 )
- For ( x = 6, -f(6) = 2 )
So, I would select the first option as the answer.
