What's on the worksheet

  1. Decide for each pair whether the second function is minus f, f of minus x, both or neither.
    f(x) = x^2 - 6x, \;g(x) = x^2 + 6xf(x) = \dfrac{1}{x - 4}, \;g(x) = \dfrac{1}{4 - x}f(x) = 2x^2 - 3, \;g(x) = -2x^2 - 3f(x) = x^3 - x, \;g(x) = x - x^3
  2. Reflect the marked points of the graph in the figure across each axis.
  3. Check Aisha's rewriting of f(-x) for a quadratic and find her mistake.
  4. Reflect a square root graph across both axes and compare the order of the steps.
  5. Word problem: the arch of a stone footbridge and its reflection.
