For a given function ƒ(x) = x2 – x + 1, the operation –ƒ(x) = –(x2 – x + 1) will result in a


A) reflection across the x-axis.

B) horizontal shrink.

C) reflection across the y-axis.

D) vertical shrink.

Given:

The function is:

[tex]f(x)=x^2-x+1[/tex]

To find:

The result of the operation [tex]-f(x)=-(x^2-x+1)[/tex].

Solution:

If [tex]g(x)=-f(x)[/tex], then the graph of f(x) is reflected across the x-axis to get the graph of g(x).

We have,

[tex]f(x)=x^2-x+1[/tex]

The given operation is:

[tex]-f(x)=-(x^2-x+1)[/tex]

So, it will result in a reflection across the x-axis.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer:

A) reflection across the x-axis.
