We are given the following function


f(x)=x^2-4

Let us perform the transformations on the above function.

Part A: Write a function that shifts f(x) left 5 units

The following rule is used to shift f(x) left by b units


f(x)\rightarrow f(x+b)

Let us apply the above rule


f(x)=(x+5)^2-4

Part B: Write a function that shifts f(x) right 8 units

The following rule is used to shift f(x) right by b units


f(x)\rightarrow f(x-b)

Let us apply the above rule


f(x)=(x-5)^2-4

Part C: Write a function that horizontally stretches f(x) by 1 unit

The following rule is used to horizontally stretch the f(x) by b units


f(x)\rightarrow f(bx)

Let us apply the above rule


\begin{gathered} f(x)=(1\cdot x^2)-4 \\ f(x)=x^2-4 \end{gathered}

Part D: Write a function that horizontally compresses f(x) by 6 units.

The following rule is used to horizontally compress the f(x) by b units.


f(x)\rightarrow f(bx)

Let us apply the above rule


\begin{gathered} f(x)=(6\cdot x^2)-4 \\ f(x)=6x^2-4 \end{gathered}

Part E: Write a function that reflects f(x) about the x-axis.​

The following rule is used to reflect f(x) about the x-axis


f(x)\rightarrow-f(x)

Let us apply the above rule


\begin{gathered} f(x)=-(x^2-4) \\ f(x)=-x^2+4 \end{gathered}
