if you apply the changes below to the quadratic parent function, f(x)=x2, what is the equation of the new function shift 3 units left vertically stretch by a factor of 4 reflect over the a axis

 B. g(x) = –4(x – 3)2

Step-by-step explanation: To apply the changes to the equation of a vertical stretch of 4 and a translation of 3 units to the right, as well as the correct answer would be choice B.

The reason for this is when you apply a vertical stretch, because it changes the y-values (which causes it to vertically stretch or appear skinnier when graphed), you would multiply 4 to f(x) which would look like 4x^2.

Then, since you have a reflection over the x-axis, you must multiply a -1 to f(x) to reflect it over the x-axis which would result in -4x^2.

Finally, it also asks to shift the graph right 3 which by moving it right, you change the x values meaning you will perform f(x-3) to achieve this (subtract the value from x when you move right, and add the value to x when you move left).
