Question

Which function transforms the graph of y=x^2 so that it is first shifted down 2 units and is then reflected across the x-axis?

A.
`y=(-x)^2+2`
B.
`y=-x^2+2`
C.
`y=-x^2-2`
D.
`y=-(x+2)^2`

Answer 1

y = -x^2+2

Explanation:

shift down y=x^2 for 2 units then it becomes y = x^2-2

reflect across x-axis then it becomes y = -(x^2-2) which is y = -x^2+2

Answer 2

the awnser should be -x^2 +2
