Answer

Vertical scale by a factor of 3, reflect across the $x$-axis

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $g(x)=-3x^2$ We start with the parent function $p(x)=x^2$. First vertically scale $p(x)$ by a factor of 3 to get the function $h(x)=3x^2$. Then reflect the function $h(x)$ across the $x$-unit to get the function $g(x)=-3^2$. Graph all transformations:
