Description
True or False? The function y = | x | – 1 is a vertical reflection of the parent function.
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
This is false. The parent function in this case is y = |x| . Now, the "-1" means that the parent function is being translated "down" 1 unit and thus this would not be a reflection. The vertical reflection of the parent function would be y = - |x|
