Answer: Option B
A reflection about the x-axis, a vertical stretch by a factor of 2, a horizontal shift of 1 unit to the right, and a vertical shift downward of 6 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the graph of the function [tex]g(x)=cf(h-h) +b[/tex] represents the transformations made to the graph of [tex]y= f(x)[/tex] then, by definition:
If [tex]0 <c <1[/tex] then the graph is compressed vertically by a factor c.
If [tex]|c| > 1[/tex] then the graph is stretched vertically by a factor c
If [tex]c <0[/tex] then the graph is reflected on the x axis.
If [tex]b> 0[/tex] the graph moves vertically upwards b units.
If [tex]b <0[/tex] the graph moves vertically down b units
If [tex]h> 0[/tex] then the graph of f(x) moves horizontally h units to the left
If [tex]h <0[/tex] then the graph of f(x) moves horizontally h units to the right
In this problem we have the function [tex]g(x) = -2((x - 1)^2 + 3)[/tex] and our parent function is [tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]
therefore it is true that [tex]c =-2<0[/tex] and [tex]b =-6 <0[/tex] and [tex]h=-1<0[/tex]
Therefore the graph is reflected on the x axis, stretched vertically by a factor 2. The graph of f(x) moves horizontally 1 units to the right and shift downward of 6 units.
The answer is (B) A reflection about the x-axis, a vertical stretch by a factor of 2, a horizontal shift of 1 unit to the right, and a vertical shift downward of 6 units.
