Reflection
 
 
 
Reflection is indicated by the graphs of these forms:
                            y = -f (x)        about x-axis
                            y = f (-x)        about y-axis
 
Graphs of the form y = e-ax
                         
 
Graphs of the form y = -aex
 
                        
 
Graph of y = e2-x
 
                           
This graph is obtained by reflecting y = ex about the y-axis and translating it to the right by 2 units.
 
Graph of y = e2-x - 1
 
                           
This graph is obtained by translating the above graph by 1 unit in the direction of the negative y-axis
 
 
Treatment of reflection of logarithmic graphs is on the next page.
