Translations and reflections: Replacing x by x-h shifts right; -f(x) reflects in the x-axis; f(-x) reflects in the y-axis.
CONCEPT AND RULE: Replacing x by x-h shifts right; -f(x) reflects in the x-axis; f(-x) reflects in the y-axis.
METHOD: For translations and reflections, identify the given information and required result. Select the mat
Replacing x by x-h shifts right; -f(x) reflects in the x-axis; f(-x) reflects in the y-axis.
Worked pattern: The graph y=-sqrt(x) reflects y=sqrt(x) in the x-axis.
