To answer this question, we can proceed as follows:
1. We can find the equation for the quadratic function, f(x) (solid line). To do this, we can use the vertex form of quadratic functions as follows:
![f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/lv6wh92oxxg1yzd73cyhfmkxhau9bpvca1.png)
Where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola. From the graph, we have that the vertex is (1, -4). We can also see that the y-intercept of this quadratic function is (0, -3). Then with this information, we can find the equation of the function as follows:
![f(x)=a(x-1)^2+(-4)\Rightarrow f(x)=a(x-1)^2-4](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/jtx38ra0nq5nv7xu78iw7wgvw1pt732028.png)
Now, to find the value of as follows:
1. f(0) = -3
![-3=a(0-1)^2-4\Rightarrow-3=a(-1)^2-4\Rightarrow-3=a(1)-4](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/qxngpk2kyjx70t6szu9rnrr00a52hrrco2.png)
Then, we have:
![-3=a-4\Rightarrow-3+4=a-4+4\Rightarrow1=a\Rightarrow a=1](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/fcs2e5qadjgx83oq7bj3kqfbqe7qciboqv.png)
Then, the equation of the function is:
![f(x)=1(x-1)^2-4\Rightarrow f(x)=(x-1)^2-4](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/lewokw8kt2h1o06l2or3l2np33wzpc53fa.png)
Now, to find the other function in terms of f(x), we can see that the function, g(x), is the result of reflecting f(x) in the y-axis, f(-x), and then reflecting the resulting function in the x-axis, -f(-x), as follows:
We have that the two functions are:
![f(x)=(x-1)^2-4](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/rem3apx524fba0nhgq0b5di6ewwwlkb6gp.png)
![g(x)=-f(-x)\Rightarrow g(x)=-((-x-1)^2-4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/op3em65k14ahfml52x4fhsn82ay45hamzs.png)
![g(x)=-(-x-1)^2+4](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/7i8gnpp2da7vj8t03qbh3ucy5aj7qfehxt.png)
If we graph both functions, we have:
Therefore, the equation of g in terms of the function f is:
![g(x)=-f(-x)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/5aplgu9070iuik8ty5xm2gsv2addtncb95.png)
