we have


g(x)=4-x^(2)

the vertex of the function g(x) is the point
(0,4)

the vertex of the function f(x) is the point
(0,0)

so

the rule of the translation of g(x) to f(x) is

(x,y)------> (x,y-4)

that means

the translation is
4 units down

therefore

the equation of the function f(x) is


f(x)=g(x)-4\\f(x)=(4- x^(2))-4 \\f(x)=- x^(2)

therefore

the answer is


f(x)=- x^(2)
