The graph of y=x^2 was transformed to Y= -(x+3)^2 +5. Describe all transformations applied to the original function and determine by how many units if necessary

Hey there!

1. The graph was flipped vertically and now opens downward.

We know this because there is a negative sign in front of the equation:

[tex]y=[/tex] [tex]\boxed-[/tex] [tex](x+3)^2+5[/tex]

2. The graph was moved 3 units to the left.

We know this because there is 3 added to x inside of the parenthesis. Remember, inside (parenthesis) is opposite and acts on x, outside (parenthesis) is same and acts on y.

[tex]y=-(x\boxed{+3})^2+5[/tex]

3. The graph was moved 5 units up.

We know this because there is 5 added at the end of the equation. It acts on y because it is outside of the parenthesis.

[tex]y=-(x+3)^2\boxed{+5}[/tex]

Hope this helps!
