Answer:
A. Reflect the graph of the first function across x-axis, translate it
to the left, and translate it 2 units up.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the original function is
.
The new transformed function is given by
.
So, we can see that the following sequence of transformations have been applied to the original function:
1. The function f(x) is reflected about x-axis i.e. f(x) becomes -f(x), which gives

2. This function obtained is translated
units to the left i.e.
i.e.

3. Finally, this new function is translated 2 units upwards i.e.
i.e.

Hence, after applying, 'reflection across x-axis, translation of
to the left, and translation of 2 units up', we get the required function.
