In a sense, yes. This type of reflection, in which a function is reflected over both the x and y-axes, is a possible characteristic of odd functions and is known as origin reflection, or reflection about the origin.
Yes.
The graph will cross the y-axis once but will not cross or touch the x-axis.
An even function is symmetric about the y-axis. The graph to the left of the y-axis can be reflected onto the graph to the right. An odd function is anti-symmetric about the origin. The graph to the left of the y-axis must be reflected in the y-axis as well as in the x-axis (either one can be done first).
When you plot a function with asymptotes, you know that the graph cannot cross the asymptotes, because the function cannot be valid at the asymptote. (Since that is the point of having an asymptotes - it is a "disconnect" where the function is not valid - e.g when dividing by zero or something equally strange would occur). So if you graph is crossing an asymptote at any point, something's gone wrong.
If the discriminant is negative, the equation has no real solution - in the graph, the parabola won't cross the x-axis.
Assuming that the independent variable (often called "y") is along the vertical axis: to be a function, no vertical line may cross the graph in more than one place.
When a function is multiplied by -1 its graph is reflected in the x-axis.
The graph will cross the y-axis once but will not cross or touch the x-axis.
approaches but does not cross
It can.
No. It depends on the function f.

Two.

It will cross the x-axis twice.
It will touch the x-axis and not cross it.
