Answer: D. f(x)-2

Explanation:

Changes insides the parenthesis translate left and right. If it is [+] a number, then it is moving to the left. If it is [-] a number, then it is moving to the right.

Changes outside the parenthesis translate up and down. If it is [+] a number, then it is moving upward. If it is [-] a number, then it is moving downward.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given

Translate f(x) 2 units downward

Solve

According to the rules, it should be -2 units outside of the parenthesis

Therefore, it should be f(x)-2

Hope this helps!! :)
