Explore and discuss the graphs of f(x) = (b)x and g(x) = (1/h)x. Then make a conjecture about the relationship between the graphs of the functions bx and (1/b)x for any real number b > 0.
Consider the following function,
F(x) = bx
Use maple to draw the graph of above function,
Now, consider the other function
G(x) = (1/b)x
Use maple to draw the graph of above function,
Here the graph G(x) = (1/b)x is the reflection about y-axis of the graph F(x) = bx.
For any real numbers b > 0 and for the function F(x) = bx;
The function G(x) is the reflection about y-axis F(-x).
The function G(x) is the reflection about y-axis F(-x).
