Looking at f(x) and g(x), we can see that g(x) is made by f(x) multiplied by -6.

Since the function was multiplied by a negative value, that means we had a reflection over the x-axis.

Also, if the function was multiplied by a constant value, that means we had a vertical stretch by a factor equal to the absolute value of the constant.

Therefore the correct options are A and D.
