Answer

a) $g(x)=-|x+3|$ b) $g(x)=|x-2|-4$

Work Step by Step

a) We start with the graph of the function $f(x)=|x|$. Reflect $f(x)$ across the $x$-axis to get $a(x)=-|x|$. Horizontally shift $a(x)$ three units to the left to get the function from the given graph: $g(x)=-|x+3|$ b) We start with the graph of the function $f(x)=|x|$. Horizontally shift $f(x)$ two units to the right to get $a(x)=|x-2|$. Finally, vertically shift $a(x)$ four units downward to get the function from the given graph: $g(x)=|x-2|-4$
