If f(x) = x^2 is a function of variable x. The function is translated 5 units to the left and is reflected across the x-axis. What is the new function?

It would be -f (x^2 – 5) because being that it reflected across x-axis its turn into a negative and translated 5 units to the left thats a horizontal change so it is on the inside, H (IN) horizontal change goes inside the parentheses, V OUT vertical changes go outside the parentheses
