Work Step by Step

Write $f$ in the form $f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$: $\begin{aligned}f(x)&=2x^{2}-4x+1\\&=2\left(x^{2}-2x\right)+1\\&=2\left(x^{2}-2x+1\right)+1-2\\&=2(x-1)^{2}-1\end{aligned}$ Let $f_{1}(x)=x^{2}$. Then, $f(x)=2f_{1}(x-1)-1$. The graph is obtained from $f_{1}(x)$ by - vertical stretching by factor $2,$ - shifting to the right by 1 unit, - and then down by 1 unit Point by point, $\left[\begin{array}{lllll} (x,y) & \rightarrow & (x,2y) & \rightarrow & (x+1,2y-1)\\ & & & & \\ (0,0) & \rightarrow & (0,0) & \rightarrow & (1,-1)\\ (-1,1) & \rightarrow & (-1,2) & \rightarrow & (0,1)\\ (1,1) & \rightarrow & (1,2) & \rightarrow & (2,1)\\ (-2,4) & \rightarrow & (-2,8) & \rightarrow & (-1,7)\\ (2,4) & \rightarrow & (2,8) & \rightarrow & (3,7) \end{array}\right]$
