functions is graphed to the left in purple?
O f(x) = -(x + 3) 2 - 2
Of(x) = (x – 3)2 +2
O f(x) = - ] (x+3)2 - 2
O f(x) = (x – 3)2 – 2

Answer:

f(x) = -1/4(x +3)² -2

Explanation:

The graph is shifted left 3 and down 2. It is also reflected over the x-axis and vertically compressed. The leading coefficient will be a negative fraction, and the offsets will replace x with x+3, and will add -2 to the scaled function.

The result is shown below.
