Question

F(x) = x^2. What is g(x)?

Answer 1

g(x) = -x^2 - 4

Explanation:

f(x) = x^2

To flip the graph, you need the negative of the right side,

y = -x^2

This is a parabola that opens downward, but the vertex is at (0, 0).

Now you need to translate the graph 4 units down, so subtract 4 from -x^2.

g(x) = -x^2 - 4
