ANSWER:
C. reflection in the x-axis, vertical stretch by 1/2, 3 units in the x-direction, and -4 units in the y-direction
Explanation:
We have that the parent function is the following:
We make the following transformations:
We graph both to be able to easily notice their changes:
And we have that it moves 3 units to the right (+3), it moves 4 units down (-4), it has a reflection in the x-axis (-x) and a vertical stretch by 1/2 (1/2 *).
Therefore, the correct answer is C. reflection in the x-axis, vertical stretch by 1/2, 3 units in the x-direction, and -4 units in the y-direction
