Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a function f(x) = x^2, we can say:
- g(x) = -(x^2) is the reflection of f(x) in the x-axis
- h(x) = ax^2 is a vertical stretch if a > 1 and a vertical compression if 0 < a < 1
The negative sign in front says that G(x) is flipped over the x-axis with respect to F(x). Also, the 2 in front tells us that it is a vertical stretch of the function F(x), since a > 1.
Hence, answer choice A is right.
