To find the horizontal reflection of the function \( f(x) = x^3 \), we need to evaluate \( f(-x) \).

  1. For \( x = 0 \): \[ f(-0) = f(0) = 0^3 = 0 \]

  2. For \( x = 1 \): \[ f(-1) = (-1)^3 = -1 \]

  3. For \( x = 2 \): \[ f(-2) = (-2)^3 = -8 \]

Now we can complete the table for \( f(-x) \):

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x & f(-x) \ \hline 0 & 0 \ 1 & -1 \ 2 & -8 \ \hline \end{array} \]

So the answers for \( f(-x) \) are:

  • For \( x = 0 \): \( 0 \)
  • For \( x = 1 \): \( -1 \)
  • For \( x = 2 \): \( -8 \)
