Question
The graph of \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) are shown below. The graph of \( g(x) \) is the reflection of the graph of \( f(x) \) across the x-axis.

The accompanying graph displays two curves, each belonging to a different function. The curve for \( f(x) \) is primarily located in the upper half of the coordinate system, while \( g(x) \), being a reflection across the x-axis, appears in the lower half. 

The graph has the following characteristics:

- The y-axis is represented vertically, and the x-axis is horizontally.
- The point of reflection is at the origin labeled \( O \).
- The curve for \( f(x) \) is upwards, and \( g(x) \) is downwards, mirroring \( f(x) \).

If \( f(x) = 3 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x \), what is the equation of \( g(x) \) ?

Options for \( g(x) \):
- \( g(x) = -3(2)^x \)
- \( g(x) = 3\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x - 6 \)
- \( g(x) = -3\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x \)
- \( g(x) = -3\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x - 6 \)
- \( g(x) = -3(2)^x \)
