Iam really confused about this question for math.. any would be really appreciated: a reflection about the x-axis and a dilation of 2. y= (1/4) to the power of x

A reflection about the x axis, about y=0, is the mapping (x',y')=(x,-y) so

A dilation of 2 is the mapping (x'',y'')=(2x', 2y')

So

We can rewrite that without the primes and combine the powers of 2.

Let's graph these and see if we're close,

Plot y= (1/4)^x, y= - (1/4)^{x}, y = - 2^{1-x}

it has the same slope and a different y-intercept

hope this : )

my answer got deleted but it's a

step-by-step explanation:
