Answer: Choice D. g(x) = -x^2-3

==============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the curve y = x^2.

Reflect it over the horizontal x axis to get y = -x^2

Then shift everything down 3 units to arrive at g(x) = -x^2-3

You can use a tool like Desmos or GeoGebra or anything similar to help verify this.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) will be -x^2-3. The minus in front of the x makes the graph flip upside down, and the "-3" indicates its position on the y-axis. Hope this helps!!
