To reflect the function \( f(x) = (x - 1)^2 \) over the x-axis, we calculate \(-f(x)\) for each value of \(x\).
-
First, compute \( f(x) \) for the values of \( x \) given in the table:
- For \( x = 0 \):
\[ f(0) = (0 - 1)^2 = 1 \] - For \( x = 2 \):
\[ f(2) = (2 - 1)^2 = 1 \] - For \( x = 4 \):
\[ f(4) = (4 - 1)^2 = 9 \] - For \( x = 6 \):
\[ f(6) = (6 - 1)^2 = 25 \] - For \( x = 8 \):
\[ f(8) = (8 - 1)^2 = 49 \]
- For \( x = 0 \):
-
Next, calculate \(-f(x)\) for each \(x\):
- For \( x = 0 \):
\[ -f(0) = -1 \] - For \( x = 2 \):
\[ -f(2) = -1 \] - For \( x = 4 \):
\[ -f(4) = -9 \] - For \( x = 6 \):
\[ -f(6) = -25 \] - For \( x = 8 \):
\[ -f(8) = -49 \]
- For \( x = 0 \):
Now, combining the results, we fill in the table:
| x | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | |---|----|----|----|-----|-----| | -f(x) | -1 | -1 | -9 | -25 | -49 |
The completed table is:
| x | -f(x) | |---|-------| | 0 | -1 | | 2 | -1 | | 4 | -9 | | 6 | -25 | | 8 | -49 |
