To find the equation of the dotted graph, which is a reflection of the solid graph \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \), we should determine how reflections work.
The reflection across the x-axis can be achieved by negating the output of the function.
Thus, if \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \), the reflected function \( g(x) \) would be:
\[
g(x) = -f(x) = -(x^3 + 1) = -x^3 - 1
\]
Now, let's look at the options provided:
- Option #1: \( g(x) = -x^2 + 1 \)
- Option #2: \( g(x) = -x^3 - 1 \)
- Option #3: \( g(x) = -x^3 + 1 \)
- Option #4: \( g(x) = x^3 - 1 \)
The correct option reflecting the equation of the dotted graph is:
**Option #2: \( g(x) = -x^3 - 1 \)**.
Therefore, the answer is Option #2.
The reflection across the x-axis can be achieved by negating the output of the function.
Thus, if \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \), the reflected function \( g(x) \) would be:
\[
g(x) = -f(x) = -(x^3 + 1) = -x^3 - 1
\]
Now, let's look at the options provided:
- Option #1: \( g(x) = -x^2 + 1 \)
- Option #2: \( g(x) = -x^3 - 1 \)
- Option #3: \( g(x) = -x^3 + 1 \)
- Option #4: \( g(x) = x^3 - 1 \)
The correct option reflecting the equation of the dotted graph is:
**Option #2: \( g(x) = -x^3 - 1 \)**.
Therefore, the answer is Option #2.
