Question

If the function f (x) = (x + 3)^2 is reflected over the x-axis, then how does the reflection affect the point (2, 25)?

• In the reflection, the point (2, 25) becomes (-2, 25).
• In the reflection, the point (2, 25) becomes (-2, -25).
• In the reflection, the point (2, 25) becomes (2, -125).
• In the reflection, the point (2, 25) becomes (2, -25).

In the reflection over the x-axis, the y-coordinate changes sign while the x-coordinate remains the same. Therefore, the correct answer is: In the reflection, the point (2, 25) becomes (2, -25).
