Step 1:

Write the parent function


f(x)\text =

Step 2:

To find f(-a), substitute x = -a


\begin{gathered} f(x)\text -  \\ \textx \\ of\text =  \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{Therefore} \\ f(-a)\text-a + 1 \\ f(-a)\text-(a - 1) \\ f(-a)=\text a - 1 \end{gathered}

Step 3:


\begin{gathered} f(x\textx - 1 \\ f(a\text  \end{gathered}
