What does it mean to reflect a function over the x-axis?

Back

Reflecting a function over the x-axis means that for every point (x, y) on the graph, the point (x, -y) will also be on the graph.

Back

It reflects the parent function over the x-axis.

What does it mean to stretch a function vertically by a factor of 2?

Back

Stretching a function vertically by a factor of 2 means that for every point (x, y) on the graph, the new point will be (x, 2y).
