Solving for Case 3:

y = -2(x + 4)^2 + 4

We have that the parent function is:

y = x^2

This parabola has a transformation as follows:

1. It has a vertical shift of four units upward.

2. It moves four units to the left (a horizontal shift to left in four units.)

3. It is vertically stretched by 2 (its y-coordinates) and it is followed by a reflection across the x-axis (it was multiplied by -2.) In the latter, the parabola is open downward.

(In this case last case we have (x, y) ---> (x, -2y).)

Solving for the Case 4:

| x - 3 | + 3

In this case, the parent function is:

y = | x |

This function has a transformation as follows:

1. It has a horizontal shift to the right of three units.

2. It has a vertical shift upwards of three units.
