Which is one of the transformations applied to the graph of f(x) = x2 to change it into the graph of g(x) = 9x2 – 36X?

Assuming I understand your question correctly, in that you’re looking for just some descriptions of the differences between the functions. If so, then I’d say:

First graph both functions, the f(x) and the g(x). Then spot the differences.
Note that the g(x) function has shifted towards the right compared with the f(x) function.
Another way that the g(x) differs from the f(x) function is that it’s stretched. The vertex is in the IV quadrant for g(x) rather than at the origin for f(x).

I hope that helps.
