The function represents a reflection of f(x) = 5(0.8)x across the x-axis is f(x) = -5(0.8)^x
Images that are reflected are mirror images of each other. When a point is reflected across the line y = x, the x-coordinates and y-coordinates change their position. In a similar manner, when a point is reflected across the line y = -x, the coordinates changes position but are negated.
Given the exponential function below
f(x) = 5(0.8)^x
If the function f(x) is reflected over the x-axis, the resulting function will be
-f(x)
This means that we are going to negate the function f(x) as shown;
f(x) = -5(0.8)^x
Hence the function represents a reflection of f(x) = 5(0.8)x across the x-axis is f(x) = -5(0.8)^x
