Question

Describe how the function f(x)=−(x+1)2−4 can be graphed using the graph of y=x2 and a sequence of transformations

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph of

y

=

(

x

−

4

)

2

is

graph{(x-4)^2 [-7.58, 12.42, -2.96, 7.04]}

The transformation from the parent graph

y

=

x

2

can be seen as a shift 4 units to the right
