Answer:
Shifted to the right by 2 units
Vertically stretched by a factor of 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The transformed parabola given is different from the parent function in that is multiplied by 2 and there is 2 subtracted from the x -coordinate.
Subtracting 2 from the x-coordinate shifts the parent function to the right by 2 units.
Multiplying the parent function by 2 stretches it vertical by a factor of 2.
Therefore, when comparing the parent function y = x^2 and its transformed version y = 2 (x-2)^2, the latter can be described as:
The function y = y = 2 (x-2)^2 results when the parent function is
Shifted to the right by 2 units
Vertically stretched by a factor of 2
