1) The region between the graph of $y = f (x)$ and the $x$-axis, shaded in this figure, has an area of 10 square units. What is the area between the graph of $y = \dfrac 12 f (-x)$ and the $x$-axis?

Lol this is AoPS algebra 2 math homework... I will not say the answer, but I will be saying a hint. 1/2 is halving the height of the object, and reflecting across the y axis won't do anything... Thus use geometry.

Hi Proyaop

Why do you think that this function is even. It does not say so in the question.

How can you know what   f(-x) looks like at all?

For number 1 the question is: The region between the graph of y=f(x) and the x-axis, shaded in this figure, has an area of 10 square units. What is the area between the graph of y=f(x+2) and the x-axis?

 

And yes the negative sign is in the correct place for number 2

The function is in the image (the part w/o the shaded region)... So if you were to compress that that would be taking half the gray region right?

Thanks proyaop for finding that answer.

 

This was a great question and the answer by Oofrence was really good.
