question 128

Multiple Choice

Write an equation for a function that has a graph with the given characteristics.
-The shape of $f ( x ) = 8.8 | - x | + 7$ is reflected across the y -axis. This graph is then vertically stretched by a factor of 8.8. Finally, the graph is shifted 7 units downward.

• A) \(f ( x ) = 7 | - x | - 8.8\)
• B) \(f ( x ) = 8.8 | - x | - 7\)
• C) \(f ( x ) = - 8.8 | x | - 7\)
• D) \(y = | x |\)
